Hollywood for Friday 3 December 2010
[private]
That streak mentioned yesterday about the 1st race each day stayed in tack and now stands at 11 top pick winners.....7 2nd pick winners....and 1 3rd choice winner over the last 19 race-cards. But ironically it may blown today in only a 5 horse race because race 1 is up for grabs
race 1 below average clarity
5 Sea Of Pleasure not much punch in late stretch but has faced better in all 3 races at 5F on the grass...best speed....difficult race...all entered have some chance
1 Taxi Fleet big step up but 4 1/2 furlong times at LA are solid...lone turf race run at Hol fits fine
race 2 slightly above average clarity
4 Rockin Hoabour exits a very fast heat for the level and drops...trainer won 3 yesterday
2 Make It Cozy drops out of MSW and this laid up gelding is training as if the trainer is putting some speed into him to be ready for his turn back in distance
race 3 average clarity
4 Gibson Home Run fresh horse....lone speed.....Miller....P Val...all the ingredients to bake a winner
1 Sammy Choi race 2 back when Rosario chased was solid....smart jock will most likely sit off speedball and try to run him down late
race 4 average clarity
5 E. P. Bombay went way way to fast to the 1/2 in last and tired......race two back was very impressive with strong pace and still able to crush his foes
7 Plantsite 4 of his last 6 starts are very solid for today's level....and rather impressive he was able to do it at multiple distances
4 Manogold very hot trainer/rider combo...closer should get some pace to fire into late
race 5 average clarity
7 Khendum best set of drills for a laid up MSW runner for Shirreffs in a long time.....believe we will see best ever today
8 Aprisa Luina Ellis charge fired 2 solid lifetime efforts last Winter then was put on the shelf....works say ready off of the long hiatus from the race wars
4 Cry Hallelujah lone race 1 year ago was a par like effort for today's level....new barn and a good one......another who looks ready off of the long layoff
6 For The Memories after 2 OK route races Baffert has put some fast drills into this filly trying to can her ready for her 1st lifetime sprint
race 6 average clarity
1 Orangeblackandgold all 3 lifetime grass races fit fine....1 of only 2 accepted mounts for Mr Gomez...1st route race but a good post and bred for it....should get a nice ground saving chase position
7 Ricketyracketyruss lone route race albeit on the AW was a solid effort.....bred well to fire on the lawn
8 Anniversary Girl late runner keeps drawing difficult outside posts.....can fly on by if he gets a clever trip and a little pace up front
2 Sky Angel shot to get loose on the front end and Atkinson is fairly decent on the lead in two turn races on the sod
race 7 average clarity
3 Queen Martha looks like lone speed and top jock aboard...Gomez seems in control...a dangerous thing
4 Downhill Diva two solid races...better than par in only 2 races at a route....can get a very nice chase position....small but high % barn
5 Vision Of Gold big day for this filly....very powerful sprints but her 2 route races are nothing special...did run close to very nice world class animals but she did it with a ridiculously slow pace
race 8 slightly above average clarity
9 Five A Day earned a strong fig for this level in last with a poor trip.....also...race seems set for front runners and this gelding has some speed
3 Golden Augusto 2 straight bad trips...figs fit....and also has has early speed
5 Breakmark all 3 sprints with fronts on fit and now we get a very positive rider change
6 Blue Cheval exits a key race albeit 3 months ago.....shot if comes back ready...running for the 22.5K to get weight off hints this isn't a tune-up
1 Swongs late runner seems compromised by a lack of speed in the race
