Hollywood for Wednesday 1 December 2010
[private]
Why on earth did Hollywood run 10 races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If they ran 8 on Friday and 9 on both Saturday and Sunday that would be enough for one more horse a race this 5 day race week. Not only that, it must be pure hell in the Racing Office hustling horses into races. Please wise up and keep race-cards to a maximum of 9 races at least until the numbers on the back-side increase someday in the future.
Â
Small fields but top pick is only the morning line favorite in 2 of the 8 races.
Â
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
1 Marquet Rebel  wide trip in last hides a solid awakening....likes 4 or 5 weeks between races and gets it...steps up...might be feeling really good
3 Milty Way  eaten alive in last setting a suicidal pace on a dull rail...might get away....back to Rosario who won on this gelding 2 races back
Â
race  2   average clarity
3 Canthavehim  major jockey upgrade....solid fig in last and likely to move forward 2nd out after the layoff and with the aforementioned rider change
4 Summers At Delmar  very consistent animal on the AW.....seems best at 6 and 6 1/2 F...Canani is uncanni (y) at "streaking" with a mid or low priced claimer
5 Really Uptown  one horse barn has their "pet" ready to roll fresh once again if past history is worth a hoot
Â
race 3Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
2 Expensive Art  best efforts are fresh and this horse has been away since July......apprentice will try to get loose and lonely on the front end and never look back with a fresh legged horse
6 Madeline Ruby  consistent sort and a hot barn.....often a deadly combination....can get a nice chase position sitting in 2nd or 3rd and try and ponce in the stretch position chaseÂ
5 Startjumpin Marnie  very consistent mare has been freshened up with a prolonged work series and drops to lowest level ever
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
3 Finish Rich In Nyc  by far the best run of this 3 year olds career was her lone race on the Hol AW......very strong run versus these that would make her extremely tough if she can repeat it
1 Classy Eva  trainer is doing as well as he has done in a long time.....filly is proven fresh and she sure is training like a fresh endeavor will once again bring out her best
2 Margie Blackjack some gaps in this 1sters training aren't what you want to see but then again she does show some strong drills
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
3 Broken Dreams micro sized field should help this late runner avoid traffic troubles making her late move....ran 2nd to a quality next out winner in Reba Is Tops
1 Softly Singing  tossed a clunker in last....race 2 back fits and the strong recent drills suggest she will rebound to that effort or better
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
2 Look To The Sky  never missed the board in 5 Hol AW races....Miller is better in sprint races then route races so turn back to a sprint maybe a good thing
6 Popular Date  3 for 4 in the win column on the Hollywood synthetic....small drop should aid in getting back to the win end of things
5 Rev Her Up  competitive sort seemingly runs her best with Bejarano on her back...does need to prove she can win higher then the 8K bottom level...but then again this only a mini step above that
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
5 Jana Gail filly sure appears to be on the upswing and the same can be said for her trainer as well...doubt step up is a problem
4 Siberian Heart  horrid turf sprint trip in last worked out to be a solid adjusted for trouble fig in this spot...proven two turns on the AW so I doubt a route of ground will be a hindrance
1 Bellini Bliss   laid up disappointing Gaines charge has had enough time off to right the ship.......needs a rebound
Â
race 8Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
2 Brutally Handsome  both lifetime races are impressive for today's level of racing...Puype is quietly having a very nice meetingÂ
1 Ona Warpath  decent mc claiming debut with decent final time and solid pace....good fit for 5F 2nd career race
7 Gifted Student  just missed getting to the circle of joy the only two times Pedroza rode....he is aboard today
3 Free Lane  decent looking work series for this 1ster...bred for speed and a 5F race
5 Make It A Cougar  15 months off since lone lifetime race but the barn is waking up and the gelding is training up to snuff
