FRIDAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

SIDNEY'S CANDY

                           Thursday Bank Started with $500
                            Friday  Bank is $431.00



Race 1            Seven Half Furlongs Claimer 25K

Hidden Romance is the speed of the field. Mike Mitchell trains Samba School who is looking for her third straight. She is the logical favorite. This is her ideal distance. Her main rival looks to be Malusita and Gumption. Malusita loves the track and the distance. I just love the trainer taking a two level class hike. Sal Gonzalez can flat out train. Beware of Gumption and Bruce Headley has spotted her at a level where she can win. She has been eating on the allowance level. In short she has faced better company. Her last win came at this track~ Warrensmysterdice will be doing her best racing rolling late to try to reel in the speed and mid pack closers!


              1. Samba School  2. Maalusita   3. Gumption

               Hidden Romance might not look back!

Pick Three  - $8




Race 2            One Mile Sixteenth Claimer 25K

A wide open affair and a fun race to watch. This pace scenario looks to be slow on the front end. E. P. Bomby will be set to the lead with Milty Way. This field looks suspect to me as to horses not in form and horses dropping into a down form cycle. Gilligaan is a plodder and is two for 28....... enough said! Spectacular Slew is another horse that looks suspect on paper. The first time around two turns for Bob Baffert.  His wife own the horse as if he wants to sleep in the same bed tonight he better have this horse cranked up to rock and roll. I like the speed horse with tactical speed to win this Milty Way. My interesting live horse is  Colorsoftheglen

             1. Colorofthegleen  2. E.P.Bombay


Three  - $12

$20 show bet  6





Race 3            Six Half Furlongs 2 yr. Old  Claimer 40K
 Silver Luna is the horse to beat and we might just do that with Hot Ticket who gets blinkers on for Nakatani...... I like this one and will add the horse in my pick three. Beware off the scary horse One Bye Bye who takes a big drop and has been firing in the morning. Hey Sugar Sugar fits with this field. Do Not dismiss  Memo to Kathy with the trainer and jockey combo..........look live!

             1. Silver Luna   2. Simple Truth  3. Hot Ticket 

              Memo to Kathy

Pick three  ALL with ALL with 6



Race 4            Seven Half Claimer 12K

A weak race with many pretenders sprinting for a claiming price of 12K. Look out for K.K. Bro won looked great going wire to wire at Faiplex. He is fit and in in form if he does not do the classic bounce. Why not Kim's Leading Man putting two straight together. He shortens up and should be near the pace at seven and half furlongs. The scary dropper who has the forsale around his neck is Dana Dynamo. Pass!

ALL in the second leg of the Pick Three 



Race 5            One Mile Sixteenth Turf Maiden Special Weight

Great race for the bettors today! Family Plan and Anniversary is a coin flip as the two most logical winners breaking there cherry today. So She Dances needs a fast pace to run at. I like Weekend Party who is the speed and has the double trip to stretch out and switches surfaces. If she can mellow down the factions on the front end she can wire this field  ......gate to wire! Please do not take this young filly bu Giant Causeway trained by the one of the hall of framer........ Neil Drysdale and one of the best turf jockeys in the game.


                  1. Skipton Creek

   $20 W/P/S


Race 6            Seven Furlongs Claimer 20K

The scary horse that I have pick before is Tall Texan who is making he third start after a layoff. He looks spotted for action. The Point Given gelding runs good at Hollywood. I like Galleta Monstruo who has tactical speed adn best of all back class where he won a 32K highly regarded field. If the speed melts down down then bet or take a loos at a honest tough customer who is Brebthurst. Remember he beat Sulution who would smash this field.

Pick Three
6th   ALL
7th   ALL
8th   Ona Warpath   Cost $42



Race 7            Riot In Paris One Mile Turf

The scary horse trained my Mike Mitchell is Muny.....He is 2 for three at a mile on turf. He is a dude that does not give it up!  The horse to beat!  The most logical major contender is Blue Changall.
I like the horse  Averoo and Red Door Drive I'm not sold that he is a miler on turf! If the jockey let Classical Slew at this short distance then he just might wire this group............ Please do not take this speester lightly. The import is the horse I like and will bet


             1. Averoo     2. Red Door Drive  3. Blue Changall


Race 8            Five Furlongs Claimer 32K

 I like the first time starter when a under rated trainers..... Ona Warpath


Single this horse in my late pick tree ans pick four.

              1. Ona Warpath
