Another carryover at Hollywood Park
Here's a few horses I like today on a day when Hollywood Park has a $112,000 pick-six carryover. I hope you cashed on Green Lyons yesterday, our best bet that paid $15.20 for trainer Neil Drysdale.
1st -- Black Magic Mama, coming out of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, is a good single in early exotics. If you want to go one deeper, throw in Vikkilee and jockey Rafael Bejarano.
2nd -- Short Sentence and Cherie's Dream, but they are both long-shot plays, so get a good price before you go to the window.
3rd -- Angelonmyshoulder could give Drysdale another win in this turf race, and Great Siege is live here as well.
4th -- In the pick-six opener, I like Beauteous Maximus to break on top and possibly go gate to wire. Leavethegateopen will also be tough in this maiden special weight.
5th -- If you're going to single a horse in the pick six, Pocosin's Game Boy is the choice. He's got the speed to wire this group of turf sprinters with Bejarano aboard for trainer Doug O'Neill. Candy Pull will be closing.
6th -- I'd feel confident going with two horses in this spot -- Kickin' Kongo and Floating On Air.
7th -- Another two-horse play in the pick six, North Fork and One Chin Again.
8th -- Talk about a wide-open feature race, all nine fillies and mares have the numbers to win this thing. But I think High Heel Sneakers is the class of the race and Caprice could also prove tough.
9th -- Another wide-open affair, where I think five horses -- Steamy Story, Hebesmallbutmighty, Axiom, Moonlit Habit and Common Trust are live. If you're playing a huge pick-six ticket with friends, throw them all in. Looking for one price play? Steamy Story, at 12-1 on the morning line, has the speed to control this race.
Good luck today!
Posting after Race 3, but here's what I like for the balance of the card:
Race 4: The Mitchell half of the entry (Now and Zen) looks to be the goods. Also will use recent Sadler claim #7 Leavethegateopen and firster #8 Unbridled Roman in the P3 and exotics.
Race 5: #1 Mt. Orient looks to have too much gas to for his rivals do deal with.
Race 6: PASS
Race 7: I really thunk #5 Frankelstein (5/1) can wire these. Didn't take to the Arcadia lawn last out, but did beat OPEN claimers in 2 straight before that and meeets Cal-Breds again today. Should get it done. #4 North Fork is the othre horse I'm using in the late P3.
Race 8: Going two=deep here with the mare, #2 High Heel Sneakers (who has faced the boys in the past) and midwest shipper #4 Caprice (who comes out of the best race).
Race 9: I hate chalk, but think #11 Moonlit Habit wins again for the red-hot West barn. I'm going to use two shows in the tri/super in #13 Swiss Lad (15/1) and #16 Sidepocket Cat (10/1). The former is in very good form for Guerrero, while the latter is back at a realistic class level and can pass horses in the stretch.
