Our free pick from horse racing comes from the Hollywood Park Friday night card. Race 5 will be contested over the Hollywood Park turf course and it’s for three year olds and up going 1 mile in Allowance company for a $44,000 purse. Post time for the 5th at Hollywood Park is scheduled for 11:57PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TVG. With our free horse racing selection we will play on #7 El Martillo to win.

El Martillo is ridden by Joel Rosario and is trained by Bob Baffert. This five year old by Tiznow is coming off a win across town in a 1-mile event at Santa Anita for $50,000 claimers and posted a good 94 Brisnet figure in the process. What I like about his running style is he kicks well in the stretch and has made up good ground in his races. This is a conditioned Allowance race for non winners other than claming, maiden or starter so the competition isn’t all that fierce here. Baffert is a 25% winner racing third back from a layoff. He is coming off a good workout on May 3rd in preparation for this race.

Play #7 El Martillo to win race 5 at Hollywood Park 9-2 on the Morning Line.

Post Time at 11:57PM Eastern Time televised by TVG
