Our play in horse racing for our forum audience will come from race 8 at opening day of the Hollywood Park meet. The 8th at Hollywood Park is a 6 furlong event on the main synthetic surface for Maidens three years old and up running for a claiming price of $25,000. With our free pick we will play on #3 Goshawk to win. Race 8 is scheduled for a 7:37PM Eastern Time post and you can watch it on TVG.
Goshawk is ridden by Martin Garcia and is trained by Bob Baffert. This four year old was a $250,000 purchase and is by Hennessy. He is making the ultimate drop in class going from straight maiden to a tag for the first time in his career. He finished fourth last time out against a straight maiden field at Santa Anita on April 8th. Today at Hollywood Park he faces many horses in this field with qualities for a 4-½ furlong event at Los Alamitos and not for a big time Southern California racetrack. With the field extremely weak Goshawk hits the winners circle today for Baffert.
Play #3 Goshawk to win race 8 at Santa Anita 2-1 on the Morning Line.
Post Time at 7:37PM Eastern Time televised by TVG
