Hollywood - Race 7
#8 Winning Prize (7/2 ml)
Argentine import for Drysdale ran a huge race off the bench @ Del Mar going a mile on grass, then shipped to Keeneland for a crack at the prestigious Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile (a top prep for the Breeders Cup MIle, btw), and ran decently althought the race was actually transferred to the main track. Note that this horse ran very poorly in his only two main-track starts on Argentina (compared to an overwhelmingly strong record on grass), and i think it's safe that we can throw out the non-turf Keeneland race. Faces some other speed in here, but looks quick enough to make the front, and has come into this race training extremelyt well (on grass, of course). Looks set to go here, and should be an inflated price due to the 4th-place finish on his non-preferred surface last time out.
HRT record:
92 for 340 (27%)
$797.30 mutuels ($8.67 avg)
