Hollywood Park news and notes: November 14th
Friday (11-14-08) Hollywood Park recap
The Friday night program is still in progress, so look for my recap in tomorrow’s Hollywood Park blog.
Saturday (11-15-08) Hollywood Park preview
Saturday’s 9-race card features the Audrey Skirball-Kenis Stakes for grassy 3yo fillies.
The 3rd race, an entry level synthetic route, is featured below.
Hollywood Park race 3 (Alw-1x, 3up, 8.5f)
(1) Vulcan (5-2) - Did not care for Pro-Ride surface. Del Mar Polytrack lover adds blinkers.
(2) Medjool (3-1) - Needed last at Oak Tree. Attracts Bejarano and can go better.
(3) Sir Bell (2-1) - Owns early/pressing versatility and finished a fine 2nd when last seen on Sept. 24th.
(4) Beresford (10-1) - Not much success in a trio of 2008 starts.
(5) Exuma (4-1) - Should move forward off needed Oct. 24th effort. Lone win accomplished here.
(6) Bronzino (8-1) - Has not been seen since Dec. ‘07, and lone win was in Dec. ‘06 on turf.
Analysis: Sir Bell is 0-6 at this entry level and is worth trying to beat at underlaid odds. Exuma is the only entrant with a local win, and he almost has to move up 2nd time back. Medjool has a license to improve as well. Vulcan must prove he can fire away from Del Mar, and maybe blinkers will do the trick.
The $20 Play:
$12 to win Exuma
$3 Exacta box Medjool-Exuma ($6)
$2 Trifecta Vulcan-Sir Bell-Exuma ($2)
Daily Wager recap
Friday (11-14-08): Results pending. Please check back tomorrow.
Overall: (-160) through 12 days of the Hollywood Park fall meet.
