Concluding our abbreviated horse racing weekend with a terrific Turf mile at Hollywood Park, we will try to cobble together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
Betfair Hollywood Park Race 5 {Matriarch~G1~1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A super high quality field of eight will prance onto the grass in this annual race. It comes up equally divided between the forwardly placed and those coming from off the pace. All but two in here have had a short freshening before heading back to competition. It will be an exciting race.
#2 Emulous [GB] (Smullen / Weld) could go off as the favorite with a superb last out race in Ireland. She is sporting a two race progression and has put in one quality workout. This is her distance as she is 85% in the money in the Turf mile. Clearly the one to beat.
#5 Dayatthespa (Castellano / C. Brown) will challenge with the third highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and four robust peaking workouts. She should be forwarly placed ready to strike at the top of the stretch.
#8 Future Generation [IRE] (Dominguez / Clement) should be in contention with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one efficient workout. She should stay close ready to pounce. She has three wins at six starts at this distance. This Irish bred is our bronze horseshoe selection for this Superfecta Sunday.
$2 SHOW.
#1 Tiz Flirtatious (Bejarano / M. Jones) should be a contender with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three hearty workouts. She is 100% in the money in her five race career. Look for her to stride from off the pace.

#6 Christmas for Liam (Castellano / Pletcher) has been making great progress in his five race career and could challenge for the win. He has the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and two hearty workouts.
$1 PLACE / SHOW.
#4 Soaring Empire (Lezcano / Gambalati) looks well suited for this race with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three solid, peaking workouts. He will challenge for the victory in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
10 CENT Superfecta
The small field precludes a 10 CENT Superfecta.

Calder Race Course Race 9 {Miami Mile~G3~1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A quality field of eight will race in this annual stakes competition. There are speedsters, trackers, and closers ready to run. Most will be making the third start of their form cycle so should be primed for a great race.
#7 Mambo Meister (P Lopez / Gleaves) is one of two horses coming off a layoff, but looks well prepped with the highest speed number at the distance and five stout, peaking workouts. This defending champ of the Miami Mile looks ready to run.
$1 WIN / SHOW.

$1 PLACE / SHOW.

$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests

Santa Anita Race 2 {Monrovia~G3~6 1/2 furlongs~downhill~Turf~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A great group of eight fillies are expected to make the start in this race. Rain threatens to take this off the Turf, but let's hope for the best.

Evening Jewel (Espinoza / Cassidy) will attempt to challenge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three solid, peaking workouts.

East Coast Turf Sprints
Thursday, the start of the horse racing weekend. Today we look at a Turf sprint at Belmont and one at Calder.
Belmont Park Race 7 {6 furlongs~inner Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
Already a number of scratches have reduced the field to six. Tempest Storm (Castellano / Domino) looks to have the edge with a couple of solid last out speed numbers and two stellar workouts. Hangingonaprayer (Lezcano / Martin) looks like she will challenge with the second highest speed number at the distance and two bullet workouts. Talented Princess (Cohen / Jacobsen) will be coming off a route seeking success at a sprint with the second highest last out speed number and two strong, peaking workouts. Risky Gamble (C. Velasquez / Signore) looks willing and able with a decent last out sped number and one good workout. Let's play Belmont Park.
$1 WIN / SHOW: #8 Tempest Storm

10 CENT Superfecta: #8 Tempest Storm / #5 Hangingonaprayer / #7 Talented Princess / #4 Risky Gamble.
Calder Race Course Race 8 {5 furlongs~Turf~3 year old Up~Optional claiming}
A nice field of eight in this Turf sprint. Mize the Big Cat (Cruz / Braddy) was entered for the Main Track Only (MTO). With only a chance of Thunderstorms, we will handicap it for the Turf. Should it go onto the Main Track, then Mize the Big Cat should be able to win this one. Put It Back Twenty (Ribera / Pilotti) could pull of the win on the Turf with a decent last out speed number, the highest speed number at the distance, and one peaking workout. Foralltheglory (Madrid / Arias) looks very ready with a decent last out speed number and two robust, peaking workouts. Littlewinged (Olivero / Negrete) will be part ot the speed up frong with the highest last out speed number and a four race progression. Alcanudance (J. Garcia / Croft) looms on the staight away with the third highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and a limber workout. Let's play Calder Race Course.

Sprinting Along the Jersey Shore
The final day of our horse racing weekend we look at two sprint battles; one on Turf another on the Monmouth Park dirt. Nothing better than sprinting along the Jersey shore.
Monmouth Park Race 8 {J. McSorley~5 1/2 furlongs~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A very nice field of eight will go to the gate. Silver Timber (Bravo / Brown) will be the odds on favorite and deservedly so. With the highest (tie) speed number at the distance as well as the highest last out speed number he will be ready to close in on a victory. Silver Timber also has a four race progression and three superb workouts. Uncle Gridge (Arroyo / Pregman) will try to get a jump on Silver Timber with a decent last out speed number coming off a longer sprint and three robust, peaking workouts. Blue Sailor (Vega / Wolfendale) will be working hard on the front end with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one good workout. Perfect Officer (Coa / Weaver) could be the surprise with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and a bullet workout. Let's play Monmouth Park.
$2 WIN: #1 Silver Timber
$2 SHOW: #6 Uncle Gidge
10 CENT Superfecta: #1 Silver Timber / #6 Uncle Gidge / #4 Blue Sailor / #5 Perfect Officer.
Monmouth Park Race 9 {6 furlongs~3 year old Up~NJ~Allowance}
A solid group of eleven will line up for this race. Hat Tricker (Figueroa / Serenz) appears to have a slight edge with the highest last out speed number and a 100% in the money record over the Monmouth Park track. Blaise N Tony (Castro / Pape) will challenge with the highest (tie) speed number at the distance and the fourth highest last out speed number. Neither of these top two have a posted workout in the last thirty days which gives us some pause. Afternoon Treat (P. Lopez / Perkins) is capable of pulling off a victory with the second highest last out speed number, a good workout, and the second highest speed number at the distance. Delicious Storm (Marquez / Hills) may surprise with the third highest last out speed number and two credible workouts. Bombast (Pavas / Huston) will motor on the front end seeking to hold on for a piece of the purse pie. With a decent last out speed number and two hardy workouts, Bombast could improve. Let's play another at Monmouth Park.
$2 SHOW: #3 Blaise N Tony.
$2 SHOW: #8 Afternoon Treat.
10 CENT Superfecta: #6 Hat Tricker / #3 Blaise N Tony / #8 Afternoon Treat / #11 Bombast, #9 Delicious Storm.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Man-O-War~G1~1 3/8 mile~inner Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}

From One Sunshine State to Another
With the Kentucky Derby only a week away and all of the Derby prep races completed we set out sights on two wonderful Turf races in the sunny states of Florida and California.
Calder Race 8 {Miami Mile~G3~1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Quite an evenly matched group goes to the gate for the season opening stakes race at Calder Race Course. Jet Propulsion (Trujillo / Wolfson) has a slight edge here with the highest speed number across the board including at Calder. This speedy guy has a solid chance to wire this field. He has put in two robust workouts and has a decent last out speed number. His chief competition will come from Mambo Meister (Cruz / Cleaves) who looks to track him down in the stretch. Mambo Meister has the highest (tie) last out speed number and four robust workouts going into this race. Another who looks ready to fire is Pinckney Hill (Maragh / Penna) with a triple digit last out speed number and four hearty, peaking workouts. Three others look to battle for a piece of the purse or a possible trip to the winners circle. Pleasant Strike (DeCarlo / Pletcher) looks solid with a triple digit speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number and three sparkling, peaking workouts. Motovato (Saez / Wolfson) looks ready to make his Turf debut with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a nice five race progression, and three athletic, peaking workouts. March To Victory (Bravo / Clement) may be the surprise in here with strong Turf stats, he is coming down in distance and shows a peaking three furlong workout. A big plus is the the fact that March To Victory is trained by the world renowned Turf master, Christophe Clement. Overall, this race is a tough one to call, but call it we must. Let's play the first day of the Calder Race Course meet.

$2 SHOW: #9 Mambo Meister
10 CENT Superfecta: #8 Jet Propulsion / #9 Mambo Meister / #4 Pinckney Hill / #6 Pleasant Strike, #2 Motovato, #11 March To Victory.
Hollywood Race 8 {Inglewood Handicap~G3~1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A full field goes to the gate in this Turf contest. Great Siege [IRE] has a slight edge having already been successful at this distance. He shows the second highest last out speed number and a well-built, peaking four workout tab. Compari (Gomez / M. Jones) will likely be the favorite in here, but has not gone that distance. He is a speedster who may be likely to wire this field with the highest last out speed number and two healthy workouts. Red Day Alert [GB] looks like he will be able to handle this distance with a decent last out speed number, love for the Turf, and three intense, peaking workouts. Dark Islander [IRE] looks like he might get a piece of the purse with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and four brilliant, peaking workouts. Welcome to Hollywood; Let's play a turf race.
