Horse Racing – Horse Pick of the Day: Hollywood Race 9 the Tiznow Stakes

Hollywood Park is back in action this weekend for their late spring/early summer meet. The cushion track at Hollywood Park has been fast early on during the late spring meet the past few years.

Because of that, our pick of the day figures to be close to the pace through-out and should have a good chance at running off with the victory in the lane as a better than expected horse bet.

Hollywood Park – Race 9

• Tiznow Stakes
• $150,000
• For Four Year Olds and Up Bred in California
• 7 ½ furlongs on cushion track

Earnednevergiven – - 7/2 fair online Horse betting odds

There doesn’t appear to be a whole of speed in this race. That means that Earnednevergiven should be able to track likely chalk Liberian Freighter and One Track Mind through legitimate fractions before kicking it into gear.

Trainer Mike Machowsky is winning at a 37% clip on the year, Earnednevergiven has won 3 in a row, and only One Track Mind and Liberian Freighter should be ahead of him early on in this race.

If jockey Victor Espinoza can get him to relax while tracking the two pacesetters to the top of the stretch, then he can get Earnenevergiven to the finish line first.

Fantasy Free – - 7/2 fair online Horse betting odds

This A.C. Avila trained and Omar Berrio ridden 5-year-old gelding should get first run on on the pacesetters and figures to be all that Earnednevergiven can handle. Fantasy Free has posted some seriously nice speed ratings in his last few races.

He has 3 victories out of 11 starts on the cushion track and figures to be the biggest threat to Earnednevergiven. Because some well-known horses are in this race, Fantasy Free might get lost in the betting.

That means he could end up going off at nice horse odds.

Rush With Thunder – - 5/1 fair online betting odds

Bestdressed will go off as the key bet closer in this race. That should leave Rush With Thunder, who has 3 seconds out of 4 lifetime races over Hollywood Park’s cushion track, as the price bet.

Rush With Thunder could upset this race if the pace is quick. He’s definitely going to go off at the best odds when it comes to the closers in this race, has been able to surprise in the past, and has the best closing kick out of the bunch.

If the pace falls apart, expect this horse under Alonso Quinonez to make a serious run for the win money.

Wagering Strategy

I like Earnednevergiven and will bet him to win and place in this race.

I will bet an exacta box with Earnednevvergiven and Fantasty Free. I will key Earnednevergiven over Rush With Thunder, Bestdressed and Liberian Freighter in another exacta. I will reverse for less, good luck!
