Final week of racing at Hollywood Park

Hollywood Park wraps up the 2010 Spring/Summer meeting with a four day week on a Thursday through Sunday schedule. Seems like it was only yesterday that Hollywood Park opened the doors to the spring/summer meeting and now horsemen will head down to Del Mar where the turf meets the surf for the 37-day meeting which begins on Wednesday, July 21.

Del Mar is offering a late Pick 4 for a minimum .50 cent play which is a good wager to have to offer the young crowd that often attends the races at Del Mar. This of course will be in addition to the traditional $1 Pick 4.

Belmont Stakes winner Drosselmeyer could be sidelined the remainder of the year due to ankle issues that have prompted his connections to take him out of training, trainer Bill Mott said Sunday. Drosselmeyer will undergo a bone scan later this week.

Lookin At Lucky worked six furlongs in 1:12.60 at Santa Anita on Saturday, moving the Preakness Stakes winner closer to a potential start in the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on Aug. 1.

Trainer Bob Baffert unveiled another promising runner from the barn when the Zayat Stables Z Z Warrior made his debut on Saturday in the 4th race under Martin Garcia. The 3-year-old son of Dixie Union paid $4 to his backers and was a very impressive winner at first asking. He should be followed up the ladder.

Later in the afternoon, the Baffert trained E Z's Gentleman took down the Triple Bend Handicap for owner Arnold Zetcher under Martin Pedroza to provide Pedroza with his 1,000th career win. E Z's Gentleman paid $9.80 and looked good in the win, winning for the 4th time in 15 career starts.

This years Hollywood Gold Cup went to Awesome Gem who was able to overcome a slow pace under David Flores to win the $500,000 Grade I event. Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, Craig Dollase finally got his Gold Cup win this year as the son of Awesome Again broke his 0 for 4 drought in 2010.

Dawnie Macho looked good winning the $100,000 Landaluce under Joe Talamo as the 2-year-old daughter of Macho Uno was making her west coast debut for owners Gary and Cecil Barber since a private purchase after breaking her maiden at Arlington Park in stylish fashion. John Sadler appears to have a good on on his hands here.
