HOLLYWOOD PARK
Race 1
No. 5 Diamond Geezah comes off the layoff for trainer Ted West, who may be gearing up for Del Mar, but this colt looks ready to fire with the bug boy riding. No. 6 Muny has won 4 of 7 turf starts here and is 1 for 1 at this 6 furlong distance. 5-6
Race 2
No. 1 Night Badger broke slow and then rushed up and shot to the front only to get nabbed on the line in his last start. If he breaks sharp today, he will be hard to catch. No. 2 He Makes It Rain is a very live first time starter for trainer Carla Gaines. 1-2
Double
1st 5-6
2nd 1-2
Race 3
Is it possible to beat Baffert when he saddles two in the same race as he does here with No. 1 Easton Hall and No. 3 Gun Boat both speedballs, with other speed in the race. The answer is yes! No. 5 High Test will sit right off the hot pace and mow them down in the stretch. We will single in the players pick five. 5
Race 4
No. 3 Awkward Mondays should love this 6 furlong turf course. No. 5 Exultant is a live comebacker for trainer John Sadler. No. 6 No Silent just did miss on this course on May 5th and now Bejarano will ride. No. 7 Warrior’s Ridge exits our HTW list off a big effort here on this course June 16th when coming out of post position eleven. 3-5-6-7
Race 5
The last leg of the players pick five is a 6 furlong race for 20k maiden claimers and trainer Ron Ellis looks to have the solid runner in here with No. 8 Magic Castle who drops and gets blinkers on for this his second start. If able to clear early he will be long gone, we will single. 8

Race 9
THE GRADE 1 HOLLYWOOD GOLD CUP
Bob Baffert holds the aces in the Gold Cup with No. 2 Richard’s Kid and No. 6 Game On Dude. He should finish one two if both run. 2-6
Race 10
Bug boy Vinnie Bednar rides first time starter No. 6 Pretty Boy Troy for trainer O’Neill. This colt will be live at a price. No. 7 Bitethebulitsuper ran a much better than looked race in his first try on this circuit and now gets jockey Mario Gutierrez in the irons. He could pop at a nice price. 6-7
Exacta box 6-7 and win and place 7
