Yikes!
 

Horses Entered @ Hollywood:
Thursday 12/10: 56 (7)
Friday 12/11: 54 (6.75)

Well, to be fair, they knew there would be stretches this meet where the box would be lean. Martin Panza had those great Turf Festival/Thanksgiving cards, and is likely more focused on the last couple of big weekends. Today is a really fun group of races and though the fields aren't stacked, Thurs/Fri races aren't bad with pretty well-matched groups of 7-8. There's just 9-10 days left to the meet.

Not so good..

I am not shocked, but could mean easy money

To add insult to injury, they are expecting rain on Saturday (one more reason they can't fill) and O'Neil has already said there is no way that Lava Man will go in the Native Diver if the track is off.


On the bright side, expecting 77 degrees and sunny for opening day at Tampa ;)

They should get rid of wednesday (possibly thursday too) racing altogther.

Is the Native Diver turf? Cause I dont think poly is allowed to be "off"?

Cal racing in the dumps.

Hollywood park is not poly or Cushion track anymore, they have been adding sand and dirt for the last 2 years.

good for them! NO wonder most people like that track the most of the Cali tracks. (as far as track condition I mean)

They are now expecting Hollywood to cancel Saturday's Card

Looks like they were able to get it together. There's an article on the Native Diver, with 6 entrants (3 courtesy of Doug O'Neill), on the Blood-Horse website.

Hollywood is sad

59 horses on a 9 race program with one MTO. Does anyone have a s.hittier job right now than Martin Panza?

You think he isnt trying? NO HORSES

He said Panza has a bad job. He didn't say he was doing a bad job.

My bad

The weather is a factor? What a bunch of horse manure. I thought we had all weather tracks in California for just such occasions.

Right on. Thanks, counselor, let me know your hourly rate.
