Furlong Friday, Hawthorne Style

Time for Furlong Friday at historic Hawthorne Race Course.  The Fall meet begins today.

Hawthorne Race Course Race 7 {6 furlongs~3/4 year old Up~Claiming}
A solid field of nine will make their start in this claiming race. There is plenty of speed to keep the pace rolling.  The group is fairly equal in terms of speed numbers.  The added variable of projected rain could impact the outcome.  It should be a pretty good race.

#6 Annette's Guy (Thornton / Bruggermann) might have the edge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two stable workouts.  He is one of many in here that love the Hawthorne course.  This guy could track and close efficiently.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Big Reward (Ocampo / Bennett) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and a two race progression.  He holds the highest speed number over the Hawthorne course and will be actively tracking the pace.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#5 Bigtime Mac (E. Perez / Washington) could be in the mix with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three robust, peaking workouts.  Coming off a modest layoff, those works are critical to transverse the lengthy Hawthorne stretch.  He is another that will track and close.

#7 Mr. Mostly (Martinez / Rodriguez) should be in the hunt with the highest speed number at the distance.  He is coming off a route and has put in one decent workout.  This guy will forwardly placed that could sit comfortably as the pace heats up.
