Hollywood Park news and notes: November 11th

Sunday (11-9-08) Hollywood Park recap

Cushion Track played fair. The three turf races were nabbed by stalkers.

Wednesday (11-12-08) Hollywood Park preview

An 8-race card on tap, including a trio of grass races. There is a $43,609 Super High 5 carryover (race 8).

The 2nd race, a maiden claiming sprint, is my MySpace free selection of the day, and you can view my analysis of that race by clicking here.

The 4th race, a state bred maiden turf route for fillies and mares, is featured below.

Hollywood Park race 4 (MSW, CA-bred f&m 3up, 8.5T)

(1) Quiet Advice (10-1) – Daughter of fine grass sire Unusual Heat was even 4th in turf bow. Can go better with added distance 3rd race back.

(2) Feel Free To Flee (5-1) – In the money 5 of 7 lifetime. Barn 0-34 with this type of layoff runner.

(3) Wild Fleece (8-5) – Part of trifecta in 3 of 4 turf starts. Bejarano sticks with the probable underlay.

(4) Kazana (20-1) – No threat when switched to turf

(5) Dominga (20-1) – First time starter. Dam has thrown a turf winner.

(6) This Is My Song (12-1) – Adds lasix after speed/fade turf bow versus open company.

(7) Sweet October (2-1) – Blinkers on following surface switching show finish on Oct. 17th.

(8) Kami D B C (6-1) – Speed/fade turf try in common turf event last time. 3rd race off a layoff.

Analysis: Sweet October has plenty of upside and could get the job done in 3rd race off the shelf. Quiet Advice can sneak into the exotics at a price.

The $20 Play:

10 cent superfecta Sweet October/ALL/Quiet Advice-Wild Fleece/Quiet Advice-Wild Fleece ($1)

Daily Wager recap

Sunday (11-9-08): Hit my $5 win saver on Great Siege ($8.00), but missed the suggested exotics and ended up breaking even on the race.

Overall: (-120) through the first ten days of the Hollywood Park fall meet.
