Hollywood Park horses to watch: Week of Dec. 7

INNER GROOVE
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Nov. 28, 1st
Finish: 1st by 8 1/4
Beyer: 74
This mare scored a blowout win for trainer Jack Carava and was claimed for $10,000 by Hollendorfer. A 7-for-36 pro, she should win right back while moving up in class.

TRELAWNY
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: Nov. 29, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 66
He lost as the favorite in this off-the-turf $32,000 claimer but was reclaimed by Mullins from Ed Moger. He won two of three for Mullins in the summer and fall. Tab for a rebound.

OH BILLY BILLY
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Nov. 30, 7th
Finish: 4th by 9
Beyer: 51
A $400,000 yearling by Unusual Heat, this 2-year-old sibling to Grade 1 sprint winner Cost of Freedom pressed three wide and faded in his debut. He should improve next out.

BIG MACHER
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Dec. 1, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 1/2
Beyer: 97
This 3-year-old continues to improve. Up in class to N1X, he dueled through a hot pace, shook off his foes, and got worn down in a super effort by a good statebred sprinter.

MAGIC MARK
Trainer: Ron Ellis
Last race: Dec. 1, 7th
Finish: 5th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 81
A California-bred debuting against open company, this Benchmark 3-year-old broke slowly, then went evenly. He could be tough to beat dropping into a race for statebred maidens.
