Hollywood for Sunday 15 May 2011
[private]
Pick 6 carry-over for today. (Only 4 of 6 winners on a Saturday is extremely rare.) Difficult pick 6 sequnce once again today.
Â
A date to remember. So many of you have asked when I will give bonus selections at Arlington again. Well I am doing a race show once again for a fund raiser at AP on Friday June 17th. I will post my picks along with those for Hollywood that day. Last year I got quite lucky and had (I believe) 9 of 11 top pick winners. Check the archives for June of last year to see how I fared.
Â
race 1Â Â Â below average clarity
1 Dave's Revenge  sure like that Bejarano sticks around to ride this mare who acted up very badly at the gate in last and then was greatly compromised by a bad trip
2 Rainbow's Luck  Miller hasn't been afraid to drop to score lately so I imagine this mare is still in relatively decent health/form
4 Church Avenue  Carava is dangerous 1st out after a claim and sprint to route and we have a very positive rider switch
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
7 Fire Glow  exits a very heat in last which was run at GG.....the horse he ran 2nd to came back to win stepping up in claiming price....very high win % for GG trainer
4 Eternally Fast  over a year off but drops from the sky and owns good early speed....1 for 1 at Hollywood and it was a lifetime best effort
8 Flashmans Papers  history points to this horse appreciating short rest and that's what we have today
5 Ribald  another who should respond to short rest based apon his past running lines
Â
race 3Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Bench Points  undefeated in 4 lifetime sprints and is the lone closer in the race....seems like the perfect spot
2 Flightofalifetime  exits an easy paced wire job where I imagine he exerted himself little which leads me to think he feels really good for today....works support this
4 Ain't No Other  hard to argue with 5 straight sprint wins in a row on 3 different surfaces
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
3 Lucky Timing  last hides her ability....checked back early and then chased sizzling fractions versus a solid key group...off 8 weeks but conditioning up to snuff.....good grass pedigree
1 Pleasing Sunrise  solid layoff run and good works since for the red hot Mike Puype.....should be turf tightened up and ready to move forward 2nd out on the sod
6 Miss Georgie Girl     decent layoff run on the grass in latest.....Walsh is usually even better 2nd out after the layoff...not too shabby 2nd out on the grass eitherÂ
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
10 Winter Blossom  horrendous trip in maiden debut last.....very positive rider switch......needs to break better from the outer-most post which she failed to do in her debut
4 Running Isabelle  good speed here and a solid speed rider aboard......dangerous front running threat
8 Silver Luna  very consistent animal especially for a Knapp runner...can get a nice chase/stalking position
5 Pet Me Pet Me  OK mc debut and surely has the potential to move forward with that race under her belt
Â
race 6Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
6 Red Alert Day  whole career is par like or better for today's level...can get a good mid pack position for top gun Rosario
1 Kris Silver  right post....right distance.....right jock.....and a small but significant drop in claiming level
5 Very Fair  needs race run 3 races ago and the recent works hint that we may see the strong effort this afternoon
7 Gothic Samurai   good layoff run in last and can build on that effort today
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
2 High Test   1st timer has strong tightly spaced 5 and 6 furlong drills....seemingly wound up and ready to roll for a hot trainer
1 Indian Knight  owns the ability to set solid pace....has tired in 1st 2 lifetime races but caught a couple of monster fields......sizzling drills lately
7 Clinton  solid debut chasing strong fractions......trainer is better with 2nd timers....Bill can make Hillary proud....maybe Monica too
5 Forward Appeal  race 2 back was a solid 2nd considering this colt broke very poorly and then rushed up
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
5 Details R. Sketchy  Palma is hot and so are the works for this just claimed animal......best set of preparatory works from Palma in many a moon...might own the trump card for this gelding
7 Sea Rascal  trainer has been a little cold but this gelding loves Hollywood and is 2 for 4 at the distance
2 Italian Rules  would have been top choice if this race was on conventional dirt......very sharp but needs to prove self some on the (1 for 7) Hol syntheticÂ
6 Off The Wall  sharpest drills yet for this horse who only needs a small forward move to compete for all the marbles
Â
race 9Â Â Â Â above average clarity
6 Huntsville  brilliant works for this 1st timer......sure looks like he might be a good one
5 Mr. Cappuccino  broke 4 slow and raced a little wide in MSW debut....better trip can put him in the circle of joy
4 Pedlers Way   good work series for this Harrington 1ster....especially like the 100:1 H drilled on the last day of April
3 No Team Spirit  new better trainer and new better rider.......should move forward today
2 Uncommon Sense  so so debut but surely has the right to move forward
