Horse Racing at Hawthorne and Hollywood

Thursday begins our horse racing weekend. We look at two fine turf races. One at Hawthorne and one at Hollywood.

Hawthorne Race 5 {1 mile~Turf~fillies/mares~3 year old Up~Allowance}
What should be a competitive turf race may not be on the turf at all. Wednesday's turf races were moved off the turf onto the dirt. As of this writing it is raining lightly here in Chicago. Baring any scratches we will handicap it for the turf. A.J.'s Love (Riggs / Kirby) looks like the horse to beat. She will be the speed in the race. With solid works and a respectable speed number last out we will key on her. P.S. I Love You (Perez / Block) will be closing fast. Chrissy's Honor (B. Meier / Catalano) and SarahtheTiger (Karlsson / Yanez) will abe close to the front ready to pounce for victory. Let's give this one a roll.

$2 SHOW: #9 A.J.'s Love
10 CENT Superfecta: #9 A.J.'s Love / #4 P.S. I Love You / #6 Chrissy's Honor / #8 Sarathetiger

Hollywood Race 7 {1 1/8 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
There is some significant talent in this race, but one clear stand-out, Loup Breton(IRE) (Gomez / Canani). He makes his USA debut with some solid racing in France and great work-outs leading up to this race. With Garrett Gomez in the irons, he will be very tough to beat. Another closer, Sporting Art (Bejarano / Clement) should finish strongly. The speedy Yacht Spotter (Solis / Lucarelli) should hold on for a piece. Porfido(CHI) (Talamo / Ascanio) should be ready to pounce in the stretch. With a short field we will try an interesting superfecta play. Let's give this one our best.

$2 SHOW: #4 Loup Breton
10 CENT Superfecta: #4 Loup Breton(IRE) / #1 Sporting Art / #5 Porfido(CHI), #6 Yacht Spotter / #2 Yorktown(FR), #3 Tres Borrachos, #5, #6
