0-for-4 on Saturday, with Convocation, Asiatic Boy, and Temerity all running second.
Hollywood - Race 5
#9 Make Music For Me (7/2 ml)
Barrett's graduate worked a furlong in 10.2 at the sale, and has been training fast at Hollywood of late. Looks speedy.
Hollywood - Race 8
#4 Apple Charlotte (4/1 ml)
European filly trained by the legendary Henry Cecil has rolled right through her conditions, winning her first three starts before losing by just a nose last time out. Important to note that her last two starts have come at this 1 1/4-mile distance, which gives her an edge over most in here. Looks tough.
Hollywood - Race 10
#6 Noble Court (7/2 ml)
I've been saying for a while now that this horse has the strongest late kick of any sprinter on the circuit, and he's really come through for us in his last two starts. Should appreciate the slight cutback in distance, and gets lots of pace to run at today. Hard not to like again. I do want to mention however that the second-place finisher from his last race, Rush With Thunder, ran a comparable race last time out, and is listed @ 15/1 here. Both horses had troubled trips last time too, as Rush With Thunder impeded Noble Court on the turn and forced him way out wide, while Rush With Thunder was then caught behind traffic into the lane and had to wait for an opening. Noble Court ran by him when both horses were out in the clear in the final sixteenth, but both were finishing powerfully, and it'll probably be a good idea to box them in an exacta here. Could well run 1-2 again.
