Today’s picks at Hollywood Park
Well, we had one $15 winner Wednesday, but we expect better. I was really disappointed by how poorly Warren’s A P Strike ran in the seventh. Here’s who I like today: 1st — TURBO CALL and TAHOE KID are two … Continue reading
Let’s go get ‘em today at Hollywood Park

That didn’t take long
About three hours after I wrote my column for today’s editions, dealing with free Fridays at the upcoming Santa Anita meet, upcoming staff reductions and the strong possibility of purse cuts, the Daily Racing Form reported that Santa Anita has … Continue reading
