2019 Hollywood Derby Handicapping
Five years after the closing of venerable old Hollywood Park, the legacy lives on with the running of the Hollywood Derby, now at Del Mar Race Track. A very competitive field of 13 have drawn in, and they’ll race 1 1/8 miles over the Del Mar turf course.
Here then are four horses I’ll use to fill out a betting slip.
One of the more wide-open races you’ll find, several of these have already spent the past season knocking heads in various races and taking turns beating each other. This makes for a very tough handicapping task, but promises a big payday particularly in the exacta and trifecta pools. Odds listed here are morning line odds at Del Mar.
2019 Hollywood Derby Free Pick & Handicapping: Neptune’s Storm Race Odds: 9-2
The very tepid race favorite, Neptune’s Storm has been in the money in all nine of his 2019 races with four wins, the last four of his races all coming at the graded-stakes level. He was third last out in the (G2) Qatar Twilight Derby at Santa Anita after winning the (G2) Hill Prince Stakes at Belmont. Not the fastest horse in the race on paper he has had some good results but no wins in four starts at Del Mar.
Richard Baltas is the trainer, Able Cedillo rides.
2019 Hollywood Derby Free Pick & Handicapping : Mo Forza Race Odds: 5-1
A half-brother to 2017 Hollywood Derby winner Mo Town, Mo Forza only got his maiden win two starts back in his sixth try, but he followed that up with a solid victory last out in the Qatar Twilight at odds of 19-1. He has consistently clocked the best overall speed figures in the field.
Trained by Peter Miller, Paco Lopez has been tapped to ride.

2019 Hollywood Derby Free Pick & Handicapping: Nolde Race Odds: 6-1
Another one that took a few races to get to the winner’s circle, it’s hard to know what was bugging Nolde last out in the Qatar Twilight where he raced very rank and finished dead last. Prior to that he had run the best race of his career to win the Del Mar Derby over several that he’ll be facing here again.
John Sherriffs trains and regular rider Victor Espinoza gets the call once again.
2019 Hollywood Derby Free Pick & Handicapping Succeedandsurpass Race Odds: 12-1
One of the more lightly raced colts in the field, Irish-bred Succeedandsurpass has only five lifetime starts after launching his career on his native soil. Out of the money in his first US start, he seems to have found his footing since then, getting his maiden win on the Del Mar Turf three starts back in a race that included Mo Forza and then running second in his last two.
The second of two entries for trainer Richard Baltas, Rafael Bejerano has the mount.
Here’s my 2019 Hollywood Derby Free Pick.
You could make a case for and against several of these, but I’m going to ignore the last effort by Nolde in favor of his solid form prior to that race and bet him for the win. I think Succeedandsurpass has yet to run his best race and I’ll play an exacta box with those two and use the top two ML choices underneath in the trifecta.
