HOLLWYOOD PARK
Race 2
No. 6 MIA ISABEL: Jockey Garrett Gomez had this girl all over the course and in trouble for most of the race. She ducked to the inside late and just failed to get the place by a ½ length. With a clean trip she will get the money next time out.
Race 7
No. 6 SALAH CHAMP: Trainer Mike Mitchell had this one ready to run a winning race, but he was steadied hard when squeezed back at the start and lost all shot. Made a huge late run from last to finish clear second behind the 7/5 winner. Will be a solid single next time out at this level.
Race 9
No. 1 CAJUN MARKET: Was last seen running up the track here at Hollywood back in December of last year. She was bet down to favorite in this race Took the lead from the far outside and battled it out, but could not hold off the late charge from the winner. Finished a clear second and will be one tough cookie next time out.
