INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Hollywood Park has a first post time of 11 a.m. on Saturday to accommodate the simulcast of the Preakness Stakes.

The top live race is the $150,000 Marjorie Everett Handicap for fillies and mares over 1 1/16 miles.

Book Review, winner of the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes for 3-year-old fillies in December, and Lady of Fifty, who won the Grade 2 Bayakoa Handicap here in December, are among the 11 nominees. Book Review and Lady of Fifty were second and third in the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes at Santa Anita in February.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Dhaamer, who defended his title in Sunday’s minor Round Table Stakes at Betfair Hollywood Park, will have a very familiar schedule this summer.

Trainer Mike Mitchell is aiming the 6-year-old gelding to the same two races in which he started in 2012 – the Sunset Handicap at Hollywood Park in July and the Del Mar Handicap in late August.

Dhaamer won the Sunset Handicap in 2012, but was second in the Del Mar Handicap, which turned out to be his final start last year.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Ron Moquett was the first American trainer to “discover” Ricardo Santana Jr. That was at Delaware Park, where Santana initially worked as an underage groom and exercise rider for Moquett after coming to the United States from his native Panama.

Hollywood Park: Gomez appreciates Bejarano feat

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Rafael Bejarano, the leading rider at Hollywood Park, won the 3,000th race of his career last Saturday, and the milestone was familiar to veteran jockey Garrett Gomez.

Gomez, 41, won the 3,000th race of his career at Santa Anita in October 2008. Through Tuesday, Gomez had 3,741 career wins and said it was easy to appreciate the accomplishments of the 30-year-old Bejarano.

“I think when you get to 3,000 it means more,” he said. “You’ve been at it longer. Things have to go right.”

The worlds of graded sprint stakes winners on dirt, turf .and synthetic collide when Pacific Ocean, Next Question, and Hoofit clash in Thursday’s $85,000 Around the Cape overnight stakes.

A field of 10 older males entered the six-furlong dash scheduled for the inner turf.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A lull was supposed to follow Mike Maker after he set a record that figures to stand for many years at Keeneland last month.

Scratch that.

Maker has continued on a tear, winning with 8 of his first 17 starters at the Churchill Downs spring meet while also winning 4 of 11 at Belmont Park. Those numbers follow the gaudy 25 for 76 he posted when setting a record for most wins by a trainer at a Keeneland meet.

The absurdity of the repetitiveness might well have been illustrated best Sunday at Churchill.

When Russell Baze surpassed Laffit Pincay Jr. as the world’s winningest rider on Dec. 1, 2006, the prevailing question was how high would he take the mark. His longtime agent Ray Harris floated 12,000 as a realistic goal. And Harris’s prognosticating acumen is as good as his ability to pick winners for Baze to ride.

Baze has 11,932 victories going into Thursday’s Golden Gate Fields card. At his current rate, he should reach 12,000 during the Sonoma County Fair at Santa Rosa shortly before his 55th birthday on Aug. 7. Baze got victory No. 11,000 there on Aug. 14, 2010.

Dancin’ Lil is bred to make good use of the added ground she picks up in Thursday night’s third race at Lone Star Park. The first-level allowance for 3- and 4-year-old fillies will be run over 6 1/2 furlongs. A field of five will go, including Double Tapped, who is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Paddy O’Prado.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Trainer Jorge Gutierrez was confident that dirt filly Warren’s Flasher would perform better on turf, though he underestimated the extent of her improvement.

Having trained her full sister – maiden turf specialist Warren’s Cracker – Gutierrez was dealing on pedigree information when he moved up Warren’s Flasher from a maiden-claiming dirt sprint to a starter-allowance turf route.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jeranimo, a six-time stakes winner who was seventh in the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs on May 4, has returned to trainer Mike Pender’s California stable and is being pointed to the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile at Betfair Hollywood Park on June 30.

Jeranimo won the Grade 1 Shoemaker in 2012, his only win at that level.

“We’ll try to defend his title in the Shoemaker,” Pender said.
