Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, July 17
Hollywood Park:
7th race--
#5 NIGHT TIDE (2-1) Baffert-trained juvenile was very impressive when breaking his maiden here a month ago and might be able to defeat morning line favorite Majestic City. Not a big price here but he should offer some value in the exotics.
Yesterday's Result: BIZZY CAROLINE ran out in 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: AMORACCHIUS (4th race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: GAB POWER (1st race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 5

Hollywood Park:
6th race--
#6 BIZZY CAROLINE (2-1) Classy invader from McPeek barn comes off three straight wins, including a strong performance in the Grade 3 Regret at Churchill Downs. She is getting better with every start and should have no problem with the 10 furlong distance.

LIVE LONGSHOT: BODIE GIRL (8th race)

Hollywood Park:
5th race--
#3 WEST RULER (5-2) Sadler-trained filly disappointed badly last time when facing similar (nearly two months ago) but is obviously much better than her last. If she runs back to any of her previous few races she beats this field. “Single” in the late Pick 4.
Yesterday's Result: CHILOQUIN finished second in 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: WARREN'S MORGAN (2nd race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: DELUXE BUS (1st race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 3

Hollywood Park:
6th race--
#4 CHILOQUIN (5-2) Hard-knocking sophomore sprinter from Hansen barn was beaten a neck last time when facing similar but figures to fire another good shot in here. He is capable of stringing together a number of good races and should get a legitimate pace in front of him. Tab in a difficult first-level allowance contest.
Sunday's Result: LADY LAZER finished second in 7th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: COOL HALEIGH (3rd race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: UNZIP ME (7th race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 2

Hollywood Park:
7th race--
#6 LADY LAZER (5-1) Miller-trained filly finished third in a fast race for the level and drops a notch for this. She might be the speed of the field and should prove very hard to beat in this spot.
Yesterday's Result: FIRST DUDE ($10.20) won the 8th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: SPIRIT TO WIN (5th race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: CHURCH AVENUE (1st race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 1
