Cambiocorsa Tries to Go Distance in Wishing Well

Share

The undisputed queen of the hillside turf course at Santa Anita, Cambiocorsa will try to reign elsewhere when she stretches to a mile in the $62,000 Wishing Well tonight at Hollywood Park.

Perfect in seven starts going about 6 1/2 furlongs on the grass in Arcadia, Cambiocorsa, a 4-year-old Avenue Of Flags filly, is winless in five races at Hollywood Park and Del Mar.

Owned by Lee and Ty Leatherman and Ran Jan Racing and trained by Doug O’Neill, the California bred will try two turns for the first time since she finished fifth in a Hollywood Park allowance June 24, 2005.

She finished fifth in the one-mile race after prompting the early pace.

Jon Court, who has been aboard for all five of her victories in 2006, will have the mount again tonight in the one-mile Wishing Well and she is the one to catch.

Dream’s, who is two for two at Hollywood Park, will be trying to end a four-race losing streak as she returns to her favorite venue for trainer Ron McAnally.

The 5-year-old Chilean bred hasn’t won since taking the Swingtime last Oct. 7 at Santa Anita.

Alex Solis will ride the daughter of Sam M.

Race of the day: Carriage Tale, who overcame a slow start to win her lone start as a 2-year-old Aug. 15 at Saratoga, returns for trainer Shug McGaughey in the eighth race today at Belmont Park.

Edgar Prado will ride the daughter of Giant’s Causeway for owner-breeders Phipps Stable and Stuart Janney III in the $46,000 allowance at one mile on the turf. Last summer she rallied from last to win by 2 1/2 lengths at today’s distance under the now-retired Jerry Bailey.

One for the road: Red Letter Day was fourth but only beaten by a length in his turf debut at Tampa Bay Downs on April 10. He can win with a better trip in the seventh race today at Churchill Downs.

Corey Lanerie will ride the 3-year-old son of Red Ransom, who is adding blinkers, for owner-breeder John Chandler in the $50,000 maiden contest at 1 1/16 miles.

Exotically speaking: An early pick four using Mercedes Dancer, She’s A Bold Lady and Phinadanz in the first, Neon Princess in the second, Wing Kai in the third and Chief Trader, Sabalucious, Western Drouilly, High Z and Really Suspect in the fourth.

Winners: (previous day/meet total): 3/53. Money: (previous day/meet total): $24/$347.80. Total money bet: $400.
