Hollywood for Saturday 17 July 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner one more day of Hollywood Sunday and then it is on to beautiful Del Mar
race 1 average clarity
6 Lucy Got Lucky just claimed by Morey who is dynamite 1st out after the claim....consistent horse should get a nice chasing trip behind a suspect leader
1 Saint Cindy wide trip in last or would have had a shot...claimed back by Carava and he puts J Garcia back aboard who has ridden this filly well
2 Acute Velocity consistent sort drops back to a more suitable level 2nd out after the claim
race 2 slightly above average clarity
4 Teddy's Promise best set of works for a Hofmans 1ster in quite some time especially considering she is a 2 year old state bred
7 Faisca barn is much tougher with 2nd time starters...this filly trains like a runner and I think she will show it today
3 Miles Rules decently bred and the Sise has been sending out mamy his 1st timers ready the last few months
8 Love At The Bay
race 3 slightly below average clarity
5 Wenden blinkers on for this already fast speedster....won her 1st 3 lifetime races then caught a couple of monsters in her next 2 races....faces much easier today
1 Fairway Road Dollase barn has really woken up...lone lifetime grass race fits fine in this spot
6 Great Atlantic laid up late runner is training as if she is ready to roll in her return to the race wars
race 4 slightly above average clarity
2 Moon The French last looks like a prep race (off for 2/3 of a year) for today's Grade 2 affair... Baffert has been winning local big races by the handfuls lately
4 Free Flying Soul nice consistent sort would have been my top pick if this race was less than 7 furlongs......needs to overcome her tendency to flatten at 7F or longer
5 Make For Magic sharp drill says good chance at a rebound...should be closing fats late
race 5 average clarity
1 Sammartino solid first on the grass in last racing a bit too wide...blinkers on (nice 3/8 drill 4 days ago) to help focus and hopefully be closer to the rail and pace today
8 Loro broke very bad....rushed.....and ran a little wide and of course tired......has had 7 weeks off to learn the game with the capable guidance of J Shirreffs...1st on the sod but bred decently for it
6 Intuitive Nature on the improve with every start...closer seems to have enough early pace to fire into
4 Gallatin's Run
race 6 above average clarity
2 Bullfighter works say all set for the winners circle with this Baffert lai up dropper.....whole career handles these fig and pace wise
6 Sognatore significant drop and a very big rider switch
3 Beauteous Maximus closer gets some pace to make his late run
5 Sky Searcher
race 7 slightly above average clarity
6 My Maloof Rocker looks loose on the lead in this spot and best of all is a very rateable animal
2 Operetta Italiano no shot in last with a very wide trip...good chance to get a chasing position behind our top pick
3 Entabeni figs on the lawn fit fine but...needs to keep from flattening out past 1 mile
race 8 average clarity
7 Partywithlarryz solid move forward in latest which was the 1st run for his new trainer.....Carava and Rosario have been stellar together the last couple of months
5 Gentle Romeo drifted out or could have won his last at a higher level.....has his physical troubles but may have one more good race left in him...I doubt many more
1 High Standards last is decent and his run 2 back is solid....may be able to get a good chase postion behind a suspect leader
10 Gold Star Status
race 9 average clarity
1 Sydney's Candy yet to prove himself with a significant pace in any race but he sure has run big when allowed to coast along early....2nd pick is capable decent pace
4 Skipshot send or sit off of the heavy favorite....either way does have a shot at the upset
2 Alphie's Bet wins this with his big late run if 1 and 4 hhok up
race 10 slightly below average clarity
9 Stormy Ambition decent chance to be loose on the lead with a good speed rider aboard.....postive rider switvh
11 Southern Victory drop down has a decent chance to get a good chase poeition...G Mandella is having a nice Hollywood meeting
4 Philly Star earned a par like fig with a very wide trip at a route in his last...might be closing late at a big price
10 Jesse's Soul
8 Ned Page
