Default Trivia

Not exactly a tough one ... but this speed ball took 7 out of his first 8 with the only defeat leading to a layoff line.



Name him.

Speaking of horses who were dangerous on loose leads ... this guy blew a 6 length first call lead going just 5 furlongs at the tail end of a 0-for-100 career.



Name him.

Hollywood Derby Trivia

1) This filly beat the boys in the '83 Hollywood Derby. A course specialist, the following year she won the Beverly Hills, Inglewood (vs. colts), Matriarch, and BC Mile all at Hollywood Park. Name her.

2) This gelding chased Tight Spot all summer before just getting tagged by Royal Academy in the BC Mile. However, off the strength of late season wins in both the Hollywood Derby and Hollywood Turf Cup, he was able to earn champion turf horse. Name him.

3) The 1-2 finishers in the '92 Hollywood Derby were future stars in the national turf ranks. Both horses eventually placed in runnings of the BC Turf. One in '93, the other in '94. Name them.

4) Explosive Red was a front-running grass horse for Frank Stronach who took the Hollywood Derby in '93. However, his half-brother, by Chief's Crown, was more famous, earning the turf Eclipse by winning the BC Turf, coincidentally, run at Hollywood Park. Name him.

5) This horse was 3rd in the '01 Hollywood Derby. 2 years later, he was sprint champion. Name him.

6) In 1995, these two horses ran 1st and 3rd respectively, in the Hollywood Derby. Improbably, they hooked up again 3 years later in '98 in the BC Mile at CD. They reversed placings this time with the winner completing a phenomenal comeback and ruining his rival's unbeaten '98 record and bid for champion turf horse. Name both.
