Hollywood Park horses to watch: Week of Nov. 23
LIVE FOR NOW
Trainer: Eoin Harty
Last race: Nov. 15, 6th
Finish: 4th by 5 1/4
Beyer: 57
Bred to run long, this 2-year-old filly was in this sprint debut only for practice. No speed, even finish, crying for two turns. Sired by Tiznow, she is a half-sister to Point Given.
CLOSET E
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Nov. 16, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 60
This maiden-claiming 2-year-old colt was claimed by O’Neill from Eric Guillot and therefore is expected to improve. Any distance will do for this son of Street Sense.
MIDNIGHT MAYHEM
Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Nov. 16, 2nd
Finish: 4th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 53
A slow start from an inside post sealed this maiden claimer’s fate. Last early, he finished with run and should only improve next time with a clean break.
BROTHER PETE
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Nov. 17, 7th
Finish: 2nd by a neck
Beyer: 84
Blocked in the final quarter-mile, this improving colt got clear too late but nearly won the N1X turf route anyway. With clear sailing next time, he can win at a short price.
SHYSHEISNOT
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Nov. 17, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 71
A fine debut by this Tribal Rule filly stamps her as a likely second-start winner. She broke slowly, rallied wide, and finished more than seven lengths clear of third.
