Friday (11-28-08) Hollywood Park recap
Early/pressing types held the edge on Cushion Track. Turf played fair in the two stakes races as pace made the race.
Tyler Baze booted home a pair, including sharp wire job aboard Hyperbaric in the Grade 1 Citation.
In the Grade 3 Miesque, Habaya (Kiaran McLaughlin) received a heady ride from The Mig and was able to hold off my top Internallyflawless (Gomez-Baffert), who was stuck in traffic before launching a late wide rally from the back of the pack.

Thursday (11-27-08) Hollywood Park recap
Cushion Track played fair with a trio of 8.5 furlong wire jobs.
Garrett Gomez booted home a pair, and Marcelo Polanco saddled two winners on the Thanksgiving Day card.
Nice confidence boosting maiden win for Oro Blanco in the opener. She has been competitive versus winners and will likely return to the stakes ranks shortly. Nice comeback win for Bsharpsonata in the Playa del Rey. That was her first start for Pletcher, and bigger things are on the horizon. Prompt fav Slew’s Tiznow easily captured the War Chant for Bejarano/O’Neill.
