Hollywood for Sunday 26 June 2011
[private]
Make sure you have the correct day as both Sat & Sun will be posted on Saturday.
Â
Only 1 race that was difficult to make sense of and it is in the 4th. All in all seems like a pretty good card. Best of luck as always!
Â
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
6 Rummysecret War  won his last 2 races when he was sprinting on the Hollywood AW.....won his last 2 races when Pedroza rode.....and a hot barn in Carava
3 Connagher  hard trying sort classifies as a gimme/go.....Rosario is 4 for 4 on this horse....others are 0 for 4....right jock in the irons today
5 Patriotic Soldier  claimed for 25K and now runs a notch below that for 20K.....Paul Aguirre is making all the right moves with his limited starters
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
6 Jack Reacher  lead type only drops out of MSW......solid races the 2 times this youngster was loose....decent shot to be loose today
7 Warren's Tiger  5 1/2 furlongs looks like a good fit.....both lifetime races on "fast" tracks fit here
1 Shane Daniel  the most this consistent gelding has lost by running 6F or less is 1 length....a no brainer contender
2 Valley Fog  not fast works for this 1ster but tightly spaced and numerous...good chance he is fit and ready.....N Cal trainer wins a high % of his mc 1st timers
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
3 Catchy Tune  solid animal when sprinting on the grass....small but very capable barn
5 Linda Lou  usually fires a good effort fresh and this mare is fresh today
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
4 Rivergrade Boy  lousy trip in last....new jock and back in 8 days....6 year old might feel good as his trainer doesn't run them with very short rest too often
 7 Oh How Nice  positive rider switch.....most recent run hides his ability somewhat....sat too far off a paceless race in last
3 Luv Dragon   won last but seldom repeats....but then again Carava is hot and this gelding is 3 for 8 on the Hollywood synthetic
1 Just Heat   back to Flores seems like a plus....wouldn't take much of a rebound to be a major factor versus this lackluster bunch
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
1, 1a ENTRY  both the 1 and 1a fit well effort/fig wise and are trained by a very good grass conditioner
7 Simply Carina  both races run on the grass at Hollywood (one of them against the boys) are solid figs/efforts...should be prominent from the get go with a good speed turf rider up
5 Town Belle  wound up like a top and seemingly ready to fire fresh off of the bench for Drysdale who is good with layoff runners
11 Dynamo  very impressive debut at a route and it was on the sod......big works since and a positive rider change......nasty post or would have been rated higher
Â
race 6Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Judge Joan  consistent sort and appears to have the controlling speed....very good rider/trainer combo of late
1 Roman Charity  decent history turf to dirt....last 2 efforts on the Hollywood AW fit well in this spot
2 Line One  yet to fire as well on the synthetic as the AW....needs to today....barn sure has been on a roll for an extended period of time
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
6 Dreamy Kid  bodes well that this colt had a strong move forward in 2nd lifetime race because it is 2nd out after the layoff today and his layoff win in last is quite good
3 Nahem  race 2 back is strong and it was run turf to AW....same scenario today
7 Achak  on the improve for the white hot Mitchell and Rosario has won 3 straight on this gelding and is up once again today
5 Eye On Jacob  decent 1 turn Baffert charge attempts his 1st ever around a couple of curves....bred fine to handle it
Â
race 8Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Cozi Rosie  1 1/4 seemingly fits this strong late runner......Rosario gets a shot after a lifetime of M Smith
1 Malibu Pier very solid in her last 3 races including one at today's 1 1/4 mile distance....recent 6F nice work suggests this one still feels fine
5 Restless Soul  blinkers on may help keep this mare from flattening out at today's distance as she has in the past...lookout if the move by a Hall of fame trainer works
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
4 Woebegon  1ster is training like she's ready to roll and there are signs in her drills that she will have early speed and for a trainer who wins his fair share of races on the front end
8 Tiz The Tide  what's new?....another expensive Baffert 1st timer all wound up and ready to winÂ
6 Vicki Victoria  blinkers off to run like her debut 2 back from off of the pace.....she had a horrid trip that day and still got up for 2nd
2 Candy And Nuts  1st timer looks well meant and O'Neill wins his fair share of this 2 year maiden affairs
9 Emerald Gold  Proctor 1st timer also looks dangerous.....and mom has tossed 2 2 year old winners from 2 babies
10 Bluegrass Story  good 1st out 5 weeks ago and OK drills since......will need a clever ride from the outermost 10 post
