Scott will head out west for the grade one Hollywood Derby. This is gonna be on Saturday. It's closing weekend over at Del Mar, some really good action out there. Uh, and in this grade $1,300,000 a mile and an 8 on the turf course. We'll kick things off with the one Maz, the French Bret who comes off a runner-up effort in the Twilight Derby. He has Behind test score, who's likely going to be favored in this race, and Moss stayed towards the inside, test score moved to the outside. Mass was a solid second that day. I don't think he would have beat test score, um, but I do like the way he's progressing, and he looks like a horse who will sit back. He'll make one late run if they go fast enough, and he'll at least pick up some pieces. Yeah, no, I like the progression a lot and I even wanted to like him and maybe think he could take that step forward to turn the tables on test score. The biggest problem here is, again, there's just not a ton of speed. That last race, there wasn't a lot. This is a tougher field, and I just don't know how he's going to make it to the wire first, given the, uh, race dynamics. One of those speeds should be friendly confines, who's right next door. He's multiple stakes placed, but he was second best when he faced Tempest Volot. rival in this race, and that was back on October 30th. It was like they both went for the lead, uh, friendly confines, kept that speed. Tempest Volet set off a little bit, and that may have been the difference there. Uh, can you give this guy a chance to wire the field? I can. I wanted to give him more of a chance because I just think he's gonna be loose in the lead, and I wanted to say that he could, you know, Tempus Volant will be happy to sit second. I just struggled to see how the mile and an 8th would work to his advantage. We moved to test score. I had the privilege of chatting with trainer Graham Motion a few days ago. It's gonna be out on a future episode of the Off the Track podcast. We talked about this horse who's been so consistent all year, Scott. I mean, he has been in most of the big battles for horses in this division since about April, when you look at the Transylvania and in all of the races where they've been running 3 year olds on the grass for big money, he's been there. He showed up in just about every race with a good performance. Here he is beating a much softer group. This was an easy group that he beat. He's a lot better than that field, but Graham Motion has done a fantastic job sending horses out to the West Coast. Over the last year, he's 5 for 11 with horses in Southern California and stakes races. He just has a good feel for these horses on the grass in uh divisions just like this. I mean, he's not gonna be a great price, but he just fits really well in here. He sure does, and I mean, the two loss. Since July 4th or before July 4th, um, the Saratoga Derby, he brought back quicker than he wanted to. I think he felt like it wasn't the plan, but he kind of pushed them forward because he was doing so well. And then again, 28 days later in a mile and 516 race over the quirky Kentucky Down course. So he's done very little wrong. I, I think it's going to be a very tough, uh, proposition to beat him here at a mile and 8th. If you're trying to beat him, one of the major players is. I've gone Salami, Salamis back and forth. I trust our colleague David Aragonna more than I trust myself. I think he was going s Salami, so that's where we'll go stakes winner still has some upside. Dan was a grade 1 winner at a mile, half sibling to a multiple graded stakes winner named Sujeta, who I think is actually running on Sunday. Um, and two starts back, he beat a horse named Capitol Hill, who won next time out, was right behind a horse named Giacoso, Scott, who I think we talked about, uh, when we previewed a race. Just last weekend, Giacoso came back to win a grade 3. Solomi checks a lot of boxes. I think his last effort may be a little better than it might look on paper. Yeah, he really hasn't, he didn't get a setup in that race, and you know, he needs one. My problem is I think he needs another setup here. And I don't know if, you know, my own 8th is his game. Maybe, you know, I trust Chad Brown's knowledge of his horses, 3 off the layoff. He's not necessarily bred to want more ground. Cocoan is still a maiden, um. Perhaps a horse who should be forwardly placed in here coming off recent races where he showed some speed. I think he'll probably be sitting 2nd or 3rd early. Yeah, he's hard to get to here. He's a maiden and, uh, you know, really hasn't taken on like much better fields of, you know, Cocoan is very much up against it. I don't want to talk too much about Noble confessor because I actually don't know if he got on the plane. I was reading that about him, but he would be an under horse, right? Yeah, so like we can kind of just go right past him, uh, cop the next one out. Scott steps up off of kind of a lackluster effort. I was kind of surprised to see him in this spot cause he seems like this is a little tough for him. I would agree with that. I don't need to take any more of the time. Tempest Vot comes off of a nice win last time out. He showed he could sit off the pace a little bit. Uh, do you think he's got a shot in here? I think he's a couple of low, but that tactical speed seems to work well for him. Getting that mile and an 8th, the pedigree says he can on the track, I just don't know. Tom's magic. Rounds out the field. He was the runner up in the King's plate, which is the Canadian Kentucky Derby. He actually won the Breeders, which would have been like the Canadian Belmont Stakes. Now he's gonna step up against open company, um, and he's cutting back from 1 mile.5 in here. Uh, what do we do with Tom's magic rounding out this field? Talented horse will be able to get the distance, the outside draw not ideal. He has to prove himself, like you said, against open company and shipping out west.
