May Day at Hollywood

As we close out this weeks horse racing weekend, be sure to take some time to reflect and get some pre-race handicapping in for the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby next Saturday.  There is parity in the field and it will be a grandiose event.

Today we look at a Stakes sprint at Hollywood Park.

Hollywood Park Race 8 {Time To Leave~5 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A nice field of seven speedsters go to the gate for this race.  All are trimming off at least a fulong from their last outing.  This promises to be a very fast race.

#4 Saint Isabelle (Bejarano / Puype) looks ready to swiftly dispatch these gals with the second highest (tie) last out speed figure, a two race progression and two strong workouts. 
$2 SHOW.

#7 Shakenwithanolive (Rosario / Diodoro) will be one of the challengers on the front end with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Irish Gypsy (Smith / Baffert) looks ready to run after an extended layoff with one of the best workout tabs we have seen in recent months.  She holds a decent speed number over the surface and is the only closer in the group.  Should the pace melt down, she is the one capable of picking up the pieces.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 Dawnie Macho (T. Baze / Sadler) will be attempting the five furlong distance for the first time with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and three stellar, peaking workouts.  She is primed and ready to challenge this field.

10 CENT Superfecta

#4 Saint Isabelle / #7 Shakenwithanolive / #1 Irish Gypsy, #5 Dawnie Macho / #1, #5.
