12/16: Hollywood (6th-10th)

[Kasept]

Mary Hartman's 67-1 stunner Presious Passion blew apart everyone's P4 thoughts Saturday at Calder with an outstanding performance under Elvis Trujillo. Steve Crist had suggested in his DRF Blog that prior poor rides on the Royal Anthem gelding offered a value opportunity and he couldn't have been more precient. The 12 or so players using the $136.00 winner and that negotiated Redaspen, Paradise Dancer and Electrify ahead of him were rewarded with an $11,000 payday on the Quad...

Was pleased to have hinted at a handful of Saturday's Best Value performers as Redaspen ($18.60) and Zarb's Symphony ($28.00) won and Grace and Power (2nd at 13-1) ran admirably behind 1-1 Country Star in the Startlet. Hope you did well...

Second half of Sunday's Hollywood card caught my interest this a.m. as the snow piled up here in Upstate NY.
