Carry-Over Starts Week

Share

The final week of Hollywood Park’s fall meet begins with a $137,599 pick six carry-over, thanks primarily to upsets Sunday by 12-1 shot Kohar and 30-1 outsider Proud Phil.

Miss Bobbie Quick, a 2-year-old, may be the shortest priced favorite in the pick six, which covers races 3-8.

Miss Bobbie Quick will be trying claimers for the first time in the sixth, a 6 1/2 -furlong sprint for maidens racing for a $32,000 tag. Goncalino Almeida will ride Miss Bobbie Quick, who was third in her first two starts around one turn last summer at Del Mar.

The pick six also features a $20,000 claimer for older sprinters, a $25,000 claimer for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles, a $25,000 claimer for older horses at 7 1/2 furlongs, a sprint for California-bred fillies and mares and another sprint for older California-bred maidens.

Race of the day: Fait Accompli, who has been first and third in two earlier starts over the Aqueduct’s inner track will try to bounce back in today’s eighth from a subpar try in the Montauk Handicap on Nov. 28. Aaron Gryder will ride the 3-year-old Louis Quatorze filly in the $46,000 allowance at a mile and 70 yards.

One for the road: Gold Like U returns to the inner track at Aqueduct, the scene of two of her three wins, and should be set for her best in her second race after a layoff in today’s fifth. Pablo Fragoso, who has been aboard for all three of the 3-year-old filly’s wins, has the mount again today in the $50,000 claimer at six furlongs. Gold Like U was fifth in her first start in about seven months on Nov. 21.

Exotically speaking: A pick four using Chinkapin, Martinblestme and Court Shenanigans in the fifth, Miss Bobbie Quick in the sixth, Etch and Desert Gal in the seventh and That’s Right, Two Hours Late and Viento Fuerte in the eighth.

Winners: Previous day/meet total: 2/82. Money: Previous day/meet total: $17.20/$467. Total money bet: $512.
