HOLLYWOOD PARK : Schedule for Thanksgiving Week Looks Filling

Hollywood Park will celebrate the holiday week by offering four stakes, topped by Sunday’s $500,000 Hollywood Starlet for 2-year-old fillies.

Expected to head the field in the Grade I race are Ifyoucouldseemenow and Cuddles, the 1-2 finishers in the Moccasin Nov. 10. Gary Stevens, who fractured his right elbow last Wednesday, is hopeful he’ll be back to ride Cuddles for trainer Wayne Lukas.

Eleven California-breds were entered for Thanksgiving Day’s $100,000 On Trust Handicap. Sensational Star, who was beaten as the prohibitive favorite in the California Cup Sprint, is likely to be the favorite in the one-mile race. Others scheduled to start are Kennedy’s Knockout, Kept His Cool, Shirkee, Eddie Champion, Stylish Stud, Gum, Rocket Gibralter, On The Menu, No Commitment and Individualist.

The next day, General Meeting, Cien Fuegos and Olympio, all candidates for next month’s $1-million Hollywood Futurity, are scheduled to race in the seven-furlong $100,000 Hollywood Prevue Breeders’ Cup Stakes. Saturday, sprinters will get together in the $100,000 Vernon O. Underwood race, formerly called the National Sprint Championship.
