Put a Wrap on the Horse Racing Weekend at Hollywood Park

We put a conclusion on the horse racing weekend by taking in a stakes race at Hollywood Park.

Hollywood Park Race 7 {Railbird~G3~7 furlongs~3 year old~Fillies~Stakes}
A very good field of ten will be seeking the win todayin this longer sprint contest.  Switch (Rosario / Sadler) holds the edge and if she runs moderate fractions could wire this field.  She has the highest speed number at the distance of which only three horses have raced.  Two more have gone longer, which leaves half the field moving up in distance.  Switch also sports the third highest (tie) last out speed number and three top-shelf workouts.  Seriously (Pedroza / Baffert) looks ready to challenge with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two menacing, peaking workouts.  She has also gone this distance and has a penchant for the Hollywood Park track.  Southern Fireball (Espinoza / O'Neill) will be moving up in distance by 110 yards from a Turf race.  She shares the third highest last out speed number and has posted three robust workouts.  Others who will figure prominently in this race will be All Due Respect (Bejarano / Walsh), Tanda (Solis / Hendricks), and Crisis of Spirit (M. Garcia / Baffert).  All Due Respect will be coming off a route with three athletic, peaking workouts.  She should cover this ground willingly.  Tanda will be moving up in distance by 110 yards with the highest last out speed number and three good workouts.  Crisis of Spirit has already gone this distance and looks to improve with a decent last out speed number, a two race progression, and three hardy workouts.  Let's enjoy a Sunday at Hollywood Park.
