Sunland Derby analysis by Dr. Atlas

Sunday’s eleventh race (3-25-18) at Sunland Park is the Gr. III, $800,000 Sunland Derby.  This race will consist of three-year olds running a mile and an eighth over the main track.

Post Time – 7:15pm ET

#4 – Hollywood Star (6-1): Trained by Dale Romans and ridden by Robby Albarado

(Sire: Malibu Moon by Dam: Hollywood Story)

In his first start of the year, Hollywood Star finished a distant fourth in the Gr.III Sam Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs back on February 10th.  The dark bay has registered several strong works since his last race and Romans horses always seem to improve second off the layoff.  Robby Albarado will re-take the mount and look to get Hollywood Star back in the winner’s circle.
