Betfair Hollywood Park (Race 9) Grade One: The Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap
Professor here again with the second of the two the Horsegrader's race of the week Experts picks. This week we're featuring two races, the second one is the Grade One Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap at a mile and a quarter on the dirt from Betfair Hollywood Park. I am backing last year's runner up Game On Dude, who has top speed figures with an upward speed figures trend. Trained by top trainer Bob Baffert who is winning at 34% for the current meet and has a 27% win percentage when teaming up with jockey Chantal Sutherland.
Diamond Dave likes Richard's Kid who possess positive Key Factors. Both trainer, Bob Baffert and jockey, Rafael Bejarano, excel at today's distance and surface.
Lexington also likes Richard's Kid. Richard's Kid's trainer and jockey have pretty much all green for their Key Factor attributes. Jockey Rafael Bejarano is winning at a 30% clip when he rides Bob Baffert's horses.
Long Shot Larry likes Spud Spivens who ran his best Speed Figure in his last race. With a positive record on today's track at the Gold Cup distance and surface, 15-1 looks like a solid bet for Larry.
