Trying to beat Zenyatta clout sound like a ridiculously stupid thing to do, but it’s also the way to money out on a Pick 4 at huge horse racing odds this Saturday at Oak Tree at Hollywood Greensward.
I don’t believe that beating Zenyatta will brook someone to “scoop” the pool. There will be more than one, maybe more than one-hundred, tickets out there trying to palpitate the John Shireff’s trained superstar mare, but taking her down is the way to go in order to cash the biggest possible Pick 4 ticket on Saturday.
Of course, my cajones aren’t big enough for me to drop the 18 and 0 mare from my ticket altogether. I’m not insane, a bit crazy on the Heisenberg (Breaking Unfortunate level maybe, but not insane on the Dexter or Arvin Sloane (Alias) level.

Race 7 (Leg 1)
Lady’s Secret Stakes Gradation I)
Purse $250,000. (Includes $25,000 – BC – Breeders’ Cup). For Fillies And Mares, Three-Years-Old And Upward. People And One Sixteenth Miles.
1 1/16th miles over all-weather cushion track
Horses Used: pp. 1-Switch, pp. 5-Zenyatta, pp. 6-Emmy Darling
Analysis: Zenyatta should definitely get this race and I doubt she loses but just in case I’m going to profit by Switch who won the Rank II Hollywood Oaks over this interface back in June over top-rated three-year-old Blind Luck. I’m also going to use Emmy Darling who goes to trainer Doug O’Neil representing the beginning measure and picks up jockey Patrick Valenzuela. Again, Zenyatta should net, but just in case, I’ll throw in 2 other horses.
The dogs 8 (Leg 2)
Yellow Ribbon Stakes Rise I)
Purse $250,000. For Fillies And Mares, Three-Years-Old And Upward.
1 1/4th miles over with turf
Horses Used: pp. 3-Gypsy’s Sign, pp. 9Hibaayeb
Analysis: Gypsy’s Warning is the class of this – field and shouldn’t lose this race. She’s almost a single in my determine after finishing 3rd in the Beverly D. against much better. The Grade I champ from South Africa should relish the turf at Hollywood Park. Hibaayeb runs for the powerful Godolphin barn. She wouldn’t be in this unless trainer Saeed Bin Suroor though she could win it. She too is incredibly classy having won a Grade I race at Ascot last September.
Get a wiggle on 9 (Leg 3)
Goodwood Stakes (Grade I)
Purse $250,000. (Includes $25,000 – BC – Breeders’ Cup). For Three-Year-Olds And Upward.
1 1/8th miles over all-weather buffer track
Horses Used: pp. 2-Crown Of Thorns, pp. 5-Twirling Candy
Analysis: Crown Of Thorns tries 2 turns for the first time. Based on his breeding, sired by Repent pass of a Compare with Gold mare, he should absolutely love the stretch-out. He’s find the put up in 6 out of his 7 races including finishing 2nd in 3 straight Grade I events. He’s obviously talented enough to win the Goodwood on Saturday. Twirling Candy is one of the best bib three-year-olds in the country. He’s undefeated in 4 races and has won 2 of those over an all-weather surface and 2 of those over turf. He could probably run over lens and get in the money. Twirling Candy’s jockey, Mike Smith, could win the Lady’s Secret/Goodwood double if he brings Zenyatta home in the 7th.
