Comments on: Friday Night Hollywood Park Picks http://theaspiringhorseplayer.com/2008/06/20/friday-night-hollywood-park-picks-2/ THE ODYSSEY OF A HORSE RACING ENTHUSIAST AND AMATEUR HANDICAPPER Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:18:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Kevin Stafford http://theaspiringhorseplayer.com/2008/06/20/friday-night-hollywood-park-picks-2/#comment-2088 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:57:35 +0000 http://theaspiringhorseplayer.wordpress.com/?p=426#comment-2088 funny you mention it. I just put a post up about it this morning. I think KB is the x-factor as I can’t get a read on him one way or the other. I thnk that race is wide open and that you could make a case for as many as 9 runners to win (including KB).

I went with Adriano overall, but it was a tough, tough call. I also mentioned I’d be playing a saver bet on Kentucky Bear to win – just in case, because I do like him an awful lot and would feel horrible if he won and I didn’t cash.

Also like the other accomplished turf runners quite a bit in here.

Kentucky Bear really looks like an outsider. Of course I’m gonna bet him anyway. He’s been a money pit for me so far to the tune of $150, and I’m considering putting a grand on him today. He’s as live a longshot as you’ll ever see. He’s got Trujillo back on him, and he did some gate schooling. Hopefully he’ll break nicely, and have a better trip this time. I expect him to be close to the lead if he doesn’t stumble. There is no speed in the race whatsoever. I read an article that said he wasn’t really bred for the turf, but Reade Baker says that he is, so I don’t know who to believe there. He ran well on poly if that’s any indication. That 93 Beyer in his maiden win tops this field. You’ve seen him and know he certainly looks like a champion. If he likes the grass, I’ll be one happy fellow!

I love it. Takes guts to bet things multiple times. If Curlin goes to Belmont Amy and I are probably heading up (July 13 I believe).
