Sunday 18 December (HP Closing day)

Hello everyone!
Paddock Girl here...

It's closing day at Hollywood Park! After a big fun from yesterday at the CashCall Futurity, which was won by Liaison as it was expected, today is time to say goodbye to this Autumm meet, the track and to horse racing for just a couple of days for Christmas!

Liaison, riddeen by jockey Rafael Bejarano, gave trainer Bob Baffert its six win in this race...Also, there was a huuuge upset in race 5, But I Crushed It won ($173.40) and definitely crushed the Players Pick 5 and now there's a carryover of more than $183,000 and also a carryover of $93,036 for the Pick 6 both with a mandatory payout...  sounds very good for closing day.

As for winners of this Autumm meet, there are still some titles to be claimed, but for trainers, Mike Mitchell has a clean win with 18 races until today, separating himself just enough from trainers Bob Baffert and Doug O'Neill to leave them behind... This is his 19th title in his career and his 7th at HP... Congratulations!
