The $100,000 Hollywood Prevue Stakes, a local prep for the $750,000 CashCall Futurity (gr. I) here at Betfair Hollywood Park next month, has drawn five entrants -- four of which are trained by Bob Baffert.
The master trainer has won the Prevue Stakes on five occasions, and the odds are stacked in his favor to add another -- even ignoring the talent of his runners, there is an 80% chance that Baffert will win the race.
His starters include Super Ninety Nine, who scratched from the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint earlier this month after becoming cast in his stall. The son of Pulpit broke his maiden first time out sprinting seven furlongs and figures to be the favorite in today's seven-furlong affair. The super-impressive debut winner Shakin It Up is also expected to be well-bet, while Z Big Apple and Really Mr Greely are the two longer-shot Baffert entrants.
Heir Kitty, a daughter of Wildcat Heir trained by Peter Miller, is the lone runner in the race not trained by Baffert. Coming off of a fifth-place finish in the Del Mar Debutante (gr. I), she is expected to be one of the longer shots in the race.
