Zazu was behind pacesetter Wallstreeter and Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty on the final turn of Saturday's $147,000 Hollywood Oaks when jockey Joel Rosario decided he would stay inside in early stretch.

Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty has been entered for Saturday's $150,000 Hollywood Oaks at Hollywood Park, days after trainer Bob Baffert removed her from consideration for Saturday's Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park because of a brief illness.

Kentucky Oaks winner Plum Pretty will miss a start in Saturday's $250,000 Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park after a brief illness earlier this week, trainer Bob Baffert said from Santa Anita on Tuesday.

An injury and key defections at the top of California turf mile division may lead trainer Mike Machowsky to start Caracortado in the $250,000 Shoemaker Mile on July 2.

Midway through Saturday's $250,000 Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park, jockey Garrett Gomez glanced in front of him to check the margins between his mount, Blind Luck, and Switch, the 3-2 favorite.

Switch is a multiple Grade 1 winner at seven furlongs, a graded stakes winner at 1 1/16 miles, and nearly won a Grade 1 over 1 1/8 earlier this year.

So far, it seems the 3-year-old filly Sarah's Secret can do anything.

The older he gets, the more intriguing Twirling Candy becomes.

Five months into the year, the older male division in California lacks a leader, an issue that could be sorted to some extent after Saturday's $150,000 Californian Stakes at Hollywood Park.

For the rest of his career, Acclamation should run in every turf race possible at Hollywood Park.
