HOLLYWOOD TURF CUP GRADE 1
DRF Jay Hovdey: Acclamation yields spotlight for time being
The West Coast stakes action on Saturday will feature the Grade 1, $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup, for 3yo+. DRF's Jay Hovdey gives us a run down on the field for this 1 1/2 mile test of endurance, which includes the Neil Drysdale trained mare, Miss Match (ARG), at 10-1 with Mike Smith aboard. Another Drysdale trainee, Bourbon Bay, 5-2, will be ridden by Garrett Gomez. Also entered is an invader fr...om the East Coast and the 2-1 favorite, Sanagas (GER), trained by Graham Motion and ridden by Rajiv Maragh. Hovdey likes Norvsky, 7-2, with Rafael Bejarano up, and describes Norvsky as being an Acclamation understudy. There's a nice story about Norvsky, who is out of a "barren" mare, or thought to be anyway, and out pops Norvsky, who has 15 in the money efforts in 16 races with winnings just shy of $400,000. The second-stringer (to Acclamation, his stable-mate, anyway) from the cast-off mare, has a chance to shed the second-stringer status as he makes his Grade 1 stakes debut. The morning line on Norvsky is 7-2.

DRF: Twirling Candy retired!
So You Think on course for Breeders' Cup Classic
"He could have won three Cox Plates but [we] wanted to take on the world," Chin Nam told the Sydney Morning Herald.  He has showcased Australian racing to the world and showed that we can match them. It has taken two course records to beat him [in his last two starts]. I hope he can go better in America."
