Another Sunday at Hollywood

What a terrific Preakness Day, yesterday.  A great number of exciting races with decent winnings.  Today we look at a nice Turf allowance at Hollywood Park to close out our horse racing weekend.

Hollywood Park Race 5 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A great blend of running styles in this field of nine makes this race a good one.  There is a clear favorite and a number up to the challenge.

#2 Alley Hondro (M. Garcia / Ellis) looks fantastic with the highest (a triple-digit) last out speed number, a four race progression, and three strong, peaking workouts.  This guy is in top form and should find himself in the winners circle controlling the front end.
No Value

#9 Renegade Storm (Bejarano / Jones) looks ready to challenge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number coming off a longer route and two robust workouts.  He will be closing swiftly.
$2 SHOW.

#4 Teafatiller (Atkinson / Jackson) will be ready coming off a longer route sharing the third highest last out speed number, holding a three race progression, and putting in two athletic workouts.  He has good tactical speed that could place him anywhere in the field to strike in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#3 Nextdoor Neighbor (Rosario / Machowsky) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two sturdy workouts.  He could be tracking the pace ready to close.

10 CENT Superfecta
