Hollywood Park Pick 6 – December 18

Friday Hollywood Park Recap – Dec 17

Both surfaces favored stalkers and closers (no wire jobs).

Hat trick for Rafael Bejarano. Victor Espinoza and Joel Rosario both booted home a pair. Eoin Harty saddled three winners on the day.

On the ticket front I tabbed four Primary (Pride of Silver, Oliver, Indian Jones, Victory With Honor) winners and one Secondary (Nice Move) winner. I nailed the first five legs and fired a blank in the finale. That’s back-to-back conso’s.
