[saucon17]

A nice turf race to look forward to Friday Night at Hollywood Park.

Price Tag looks like the best American runner or does Wait a While turns around her form an runs a race like she did in last years American Oaks over the Hollywood turf course. Maybe one of Japanese imports gets the money.

I can tell you right now...Price Tag is going to be awful tough going 1 mile. That is her ideal distance and the race she ran in the Gamely showed that while she is immensely talented, she probably doesn't really want nine furlongs. Prado is headed out west to jump on and I'm not enamored with any of the American contingent, especially since Wait A While seems to have been exposed. Although I will admit Lady of Venice could be a bit more than I think.

I was a little surprised by the placement of the race on the card. Race 5 makes it Leg B of the Pick 6, but it misses both the early and late Pick 4. I guess it had to be run at a reasonable hour for increased handle (it's scheduled to go at midnight EDT).

Should be a good race and it looks like this particular event is on its way to being a solid GI with a great position on the calendar.

As you well know Hossy...the only reason WaitAWhile is in there is to destroy ant hills.

Very nice field . Size and quality. Now we hear the naysayers complaining about the placement on the card. Some players would complain if they were given the winners prior to the race going off.

I wouldn't say he was naysaying, just surprised. Typically a large field is included in the major wagers of the day, especially if it's the stake.

They have another major race on the card. The A Gleam G2 $150,000 7 furlong sprint

Featuring....Pussycat Doll, Getback Time, Somethinaboutlaura, Theverythoughtof U

I think TheverythoughtofU will take this one. She's lightly raced and has more room for improvement. Also, her dam is Stormy But Valid.

[letswastemoney]

Interesting....Stormy But Valid won the A Gleam in 1990. Like mother like daughter????

[Kasept]

Be aware that they are offering a Cash Call-American Oaks Double Fri-Sat..

[Danzig]

one writer suggested surf cat could make a run at HOY. as he said, at this point of the year, tiznow hadn't accomplished anything either....who knows? horse certainly is loaded with talent. good to see him back on the track and ready to race.

[Danzig]

oh lord....speaking of saturday racing at hollywood, there's a horse entered in the 7th named shanhi tang.
