Moccasin Is a Good Fit for 4 Unbeaten Fillies

Four unbeaten 2-year-old fillies will get together in the $100,000 Moccasin today at Hollywood Park.

The race is part of a pick six with a carry-over of $94,465.

Steppin Out Rose, Cotton Bay and True Xena were all winners in their career debuts. Private World is two for two and will be trying to succeed at a third track in the seven-furlong Moccasin.

Owned by Thoroughbred Capital Partners and trained by Bob Hess Jr., Private World, a daughter of Thunder Gulch, broke her maiden in her bow Sept. 5 at Del Mar, then was a game winner of the Anoakia Stakes as a 6-1 shot Oct. 23 at Santa Anita.

After breaking from the rail in Arcadia, Private World will leave from post three today against seven others.

Catch My Fancy, a Yes It’s True filly, will try to rebound from her first loss after a pair of wins for the Lanni Family Trust and trainer Craig Dollase. A winner at Del Mar and at Fairplex, Catch My Fancy was fifth of nine in the Frizette, a Grade I, on Oct. 8 at Belmont Park.

The field is completed by Bettarun Fast, who was second in the Anoakia, her first loss after three wins in Florida, My Little Monkey and Mimosa Mist.

Race of the day: Celestial Legend, who has won her three starts by a combined 16 1/2 lengths, will make her graded stakes debut against five other 2-year-old fillies in the $100,000 Valley Storm at Aqueduct. Edgar Prado will be aboard the City Zip filly for owners David Menard and Richard Schultz and trainer Dale Capuano in the Grade III at six furlongs.

One for the road: America Alive returns to a course on which he has won and gets his preferred distance as he seeks his eighth lifetime win in today’s $150,000 River City Handicap at Churchill Downs.

Robby Albarado will ride the 4-year-old American Chance colt, who won a Grade I over the course earlier in the year, for owner-breeder Mill House and trainer Neil Howard in the Grade III at 1 1/8 miles on turf.

Exotically speaking: A late pick four using Canteen, Bonanza Two and Salah Who in the sixth, My Last Chance and Robs Coin in the seventh, Bettarun Fast and Cotton Bay in the eighth and Windy in the ninth.

Winners: (previous day/meet total): 1/30. Money: (previous day/meet total): $3.60/$150.40. Total money bet: $150.
