7th: 76th Hollywood Derby (G1), 3yo, 9f-T (P3, DD)

Sharp Samurai shows no sign of relenting and this is the opportunity Glatt & Co. have been working towards. Adjusts to paces and clearly the one to beat. The interesting price player is Blacker’s 20-1 Ritzy A.P. who is improving on time, beat elders on BC Friday and picks up Van Dyke with Prat on Big Score. Bowies Hero likes it at DMR having won the Juvy Turf here last year and Oceanside this summer. Channel Maker has stuck around California since the Twilight Derby and will be motoring late under Castellano. Mo Town a horse I’m struggling with despite the quantum leap with move to grass..

Hard to accept that only one of these gets out with a diploma. This is going to be a massively important group going forward. Concur, out of an unraced half sister of Medallist, has advantage of experience and Greyvitos a stake winner out of their debut meeting..
