Horse Racing, Hollywood Park, June 29

Post Time 7:05 p.m.

Race 1 – 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Memo to Kathy – Gutsy win last time over a nondescript field; this field is nondescript too, so she could repeat.

4 Indy Beauty – Good try first off the claim by Jack Carava; can sit a trip and grind it out late.

Long Shot – 1 Lisa Lulu

Race 2 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $29,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

7 Pork Chop – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; is switching from turf to synthetics.

1 Awesome Year – Showed good improvement last time in his second career start; never hurts to have Rafael Bejarano riding.

Long Shot – 5 Bev N Bud

Race 3 – 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

8 I Feel Free – Doug O’Neill is hanging the for sale sign in search of victory; would trade a nice win for losing the horse.

3 A. P. Corsair – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; did run for a price tag before though.

Long Shot – 1 Outta Splash

Race 4 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $26,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

7 Morganouska – Has won twice in a row, then got claimed by Terry Knight; he is a solid, underrated trainer so expect a good run.

1 Megaride – Like when horses win and run a slower Beyer speed figure; upset chance can save ground from the rail.

Long Shot – 6 Ziggy’s Stardust

Race 5 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

8 Attigirl Meadow – Was compromised early on in last when pinched back at the start; suspect will sit a trip and come flying late.

7 Passionville – Huge rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot; has been left with too much to do late.

Long Shot – 9 Appetizing

Race 6 – 6 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

3 Carrie Rose – I believe in karma; with Mike Mitchell in surgery today, one thing that can boost his spirits is an upset win.

2 This Means War – Logical chalk has run two good races in her career; exits a bullet work and figures to be tough to beat.

Long Shot – 7 Roar Baby Roar

Race 7 – 1 3/16th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Seeking Solace – Didn’t get the best of trip last time; he has a lot of back class and the Ron Ellis barn is very live right now.

2 Imponente Purse – Favored due to a serious drop in class; he hasn’t run a good race in a while, but he is definitely capable.

Long Shot – 5 Isle of Prado

Race 8 – 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

11 Et Tu Walker – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; like the parking lot post in an elongated sprint.

1 Visionary Man – Another taking a huge class drop to face an easier task; Rafael Bejarano won 5 on Thursday, expect more of that.

Long Shot – 3 Sidepocket Kid

Best Bet – 8 I Feel Free (race 3)
