The $100,000 Affirmed Handicap for 3-year-olds at Hollywood Park set to run Saturday, June 20, features Scorewithcater, who beat the not-yet-crowned Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird in the Borderland Derby in February at Sunland Park. Our own Joe Talamo will pilot Scorewithcater tomorrow in the Affirmed Handicap. Winning four of ten starts, Scorewithcater has earned $233,720. His trainer, Doug O'Neill, also has Cape Truth (son of Cape Town) entered in the race. Cape Truth has won two of his four starts. Grazen, who has won two consecutive races at Hollywood Park also holds favorite status for this race with some officianados along with Misremembered trained by Bob Baffert, also winning two of three starts. Both will give Scorewithcater a battle in the Affirmed. Rounding out the field are Quindici Man and Fiddlers Afleet.
This looks like it could be a real battle and our VIPs should thoroughly enjoy determining who the winner's circle occupant might be. See if Scorewithcater can ward off the competitors and reward those who believe he is the likely winner. Whether you bet, jockey or just watch the race, it's sure to be an exciting addition to your weekend.
We would encourage all of our non-VIP members to seriously consider becoming a VIP now so they can receive all the great major stakes events coming throughout the summer and fall months. In addition to all these great pre-built races, our VIPs get so many great benefits.
The VIP benefits go on and on, from the VIP Lounge to private tournaments to access to special upcoming horse racing events and let's not forget that beautiful badge that all the VIPs wear - the badge that says you're serious about winning and having fun in our horse racing community. Hope to see you as a new VIP soon!
Enjoy the Affirmed, VIPs! It promises real excitement as a perfect start to your racing weekend.
Love,
Michelle
