Earlier today (Thursday, July 12) Ruler of the Tribe, trained by Peter Miller and ridden by Martin Pedroza, won the 2nd race at Hollywood Park by a little over three lengths. Since Wellington Beauty, a two year old bay filly by Forestry, had won the final race at Hollywood on Independence Day, that means that the 8th race at Hollywood on June 21 is now officially a key race.
Hollywood's 8th race on June 21 was a Maiden Claimer ($40k-$50k) for two year old fillies, run at a distance of four and a half furlongs over the plastic main track. Six of the nine entrants in that race, including all four horses in the Superfecta, were making their first career start. Wellington Beauty was the Place horse in the June 21 race, while Ruler of the Tribe took the Show.
The fourth place finisher in the key race, Amy's Cashin In, took the Show in Wellington Beauty's win on the Fourth of July. As near as I can tell, none of the other entrants in the key race have competed since. That includes Renee's Titan, the winner of the June 21 race by a comfortable four and a half lengths.
The other entrants in the June 21 race (in their respective order of finish) were Kiptiddy Do (not to be confused with Kiptiddy Do Dah), Yodelin Moon, Citizen Bernstein, Warren's Fantasy, and Restless Ruby.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
