chalk city yesterday at hollywood. let's try to open up some healthier payoffs today.
r1: miss thirtyfour D. two sprint preps and the stretchout for paddy gallagher. this son of bertrando acts like a horse that wants to route as he just gets outpaced when sprinting. valdivia gets the rail and should have this guy forwardly placed throughout. if by magic is the deserving favorite, but she's had 7 chances already and if she wins, you're staring at 3.60, 2.60, 2.10.
r4: haleakala sunrise. maiden special fillies sprint 5fs here and this one is wide open. o'neill's debutante, case considered has been training forwardly and is must use in the exotics. however, i'm going to side with this second time starter from richard matlow's barn. the duahgter of gold fever didn't break very well in her last and put in a solid run at the 4.5f distance, where it's virtually impossible to make up ground in these maiden races. matlow's stats with second time starters is great and flores is the second best gate rider on the circuit, behind pval. looking for a much, much cleaner break and a gate to wire score.
r5: i'm desperately trying to find a way to beat favorite, summer service, who should be favored but will be a massive underlay. westward star is the most logical horse as he finished a close second to 'service after a bad break. irony is the one that intrigues the most as he has run fast at turf paradise and has fairly decent turf breeding for the very capable krulijac barn- and those turf paradise shippers rarely take any action. haven't decided yet, but leaning to w'star and irony.
r6: dr. slew. this is a total scramble as the cellar dweller claimers try to make it around the track without breaking down. the over/under on front bandages in this race is 12.5. he's a free spirit is the one to beat but he's clearly going the wrong way- so unless mitchell puts him on the juice, i wouldn't be surprised to see him run poorly here. the doctor isn't big on winning, but he should appreciate the elongated sprint distance in his first time out for ed moger. total flyer, but at 15/1 or so, i'll take a stab in wide wide open race.
r8: celtic way. i know, i know hendricks is awful first out, but this is a really empty race. the wygod homebred has been in training quite a while for hendricks, and that's usually a negative sign. however, his last two works have been pretty good and espinoza is great with these young horses. benchmark was known as a router, but he's had a few debut winners so far and he seems to be passing on some speed to his offspring (as well as stamping them with his beautiful chestnut coat). anyway, i wouldn't be surprised if he gets off higher than his 3/1 m/l.
