What a Difference a Day Makes
Filed Under Uncategorized
After Saturday’s chalkfest, where there were seven winning favorites and two second-choice winners, Sunday’s full fields produced much different results. Public handicappers, like this one, who had six winners on Saturday were blanked on Sunday. The Pick Six payoff went from $676 to a single ticket worth $178,785. Pick 4 payoffs at $52 on Saturday swelled to $521 and $3,302 on Sunday. The Sunday results didn’t have a crazy knockout horse on the card but rather a combination of logical and mid-priced runners, with winners in the Pick Six races paying $7.60, $11.60, $14.00, $10.60, $7.40 and $19.20. It is often a string of these mid-priced horses that produce massive payoffs or even carryovers because it’s so difficult to put them all together.
On Sunday: Two winners each for David Flores, Alex Solis and Michael Baze, who maintains a six-win margin over Joe Talamo (who had one victory on the card) as these two young bucks have distanced themselves from the rest of the riding colony. Baze rode the rail and got through inside for both wins today…Tom Foley got his first winner at Hollywood Park when he rocketed comebacker TRAIL MIX to the lead through fast splits, then held on at the wire. With the win, Foley immediately went from a 10-pound weight allowance to seven pounds…LADY GAMER remained perfect on the Cushion Track when taking the Valkyr in wire-to-wire fashion…UNDER SERVICED kept coming to nail B R’S GIRL in a solid-looking 2-year-old heat. The Baffert trainee is a New York-bred daughter of Hook and Ladder that cost $325,000 at sale…CHARMING LEGACY switched back to turf and won the 8th. What a producer her dam Olympic Charmer has been…the Gutierrez-Nakatani combination scored again with WARREN’S SECRET in the finale, running down well-meant first-timer TOP LEESE on the line.
On Saturday: Chalk rolled home all day. DEPUTY LAD became a four-time winner at the meet, stepping up once again to defeat $25,000 claimers while giving Mike Mitchell his second training win on the card…AWESOME GEM was a very easy winner of a third-level allowance race and looks ready to step back up into the stakes ranks…WORLDLY remained perfect in three U.S. starts with an authoritative win in the Cinema.
On Friday: A riding triple for Talamo and training double for Mike Harrington…ITSALLGREEKTOU made it three straight since joining the Paul Aguirre barn, this time switching to turf and winning very nicely…AREYOUTALKINTOME dropped in class and ended a nine-race losing streak by outrunning game WIND WATER in an exciting sprint.
Wednesday begins a six-day racing week, highlighted by Saturday’s Hollywood Gold Cup.
