Twirling Candy will seek the second Grade I victory of his career in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday at Hollywood Park.Read More
  • medlocke · I think whether or not Twirling Candy shows he can stay the 1-1/4 of the Hollywood Gold Cup will go a long way in determining whether or not we'll see him at Churchill Downs in November, representing America in this year's Breeders Cup Classic? JMO. · 324 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · looking at the weights I don't 5-10-15 lbs makes any difference on an 1100 pound horse.In fact I've always found the value at the high weights as their usually under valued.Naturally the particular horse comes into play as I don't just bet the high weights. · 325 days ago ·

  • ruffed grouse · Well this is the race for TC to step up for me as I have posted how talented I believe him to be. He has had his prep and should be set to get the 1 1/4. I don't know if this is the best spot for the lady but she must be doing well if the trainer wants to put her in here. · 327 days ago ·
