Hollywood starts its Festival of Turf today with the Gr1 Citation stakes with some quality milers from the dirt and turf lining up to do battle,Rebellion, Whatascript, and Formal Decree, to name a few.  Nice pool carryover should create  more than the usual Friday interest.
 
BEST BET   Race 2  #1 Star Redeemer
                  A bunch of California juveniles maidens at that, this guy has been tried at a bigger distance and higher class didnt disgrace himself. everything looks and sounds right today will be a worthy favourite, jockey change will definatly suit.
 
NEXT BEST   Race 4  # 2 Il Girasole
                    Bunch of workmanlike claimers this guy had a sparkling debut at Saratoga on the turf beating derby runner Adriano. Pletcher ships him in from Churchill where they are in the middle of a meet. Iam sensing he is liking the sun already, big run today.
 
VALUE BET   Race 10  # 7 Beckett
                   You look at this guys best beyers and he is a winner at that 5 and half pole. He finally gets the distance today,  couple of bullets over the track, cath me if you can….. unfashionable connections…. hey we will take the price though.  H.W.
