MEMORETTE (Memo [Chi]), who has placed in three Grade 1 events this year,
will seek her first graded victory in Saturday’s $175,000 Hollywood Breeders’
Cup Oaks (G2). The Bill Currin-trained sophomore filly will face seven rivals in
the 1 1/16-mile contest, including LEAVE ME ALONE (Bold Badgett), who exits an
encouraging four-length win in the Melair S. at this distance last out.
Three-time stakes queen CEE’S IRISH (Cee’s Tizzy) is another contender, and
BROOKE’S HALO (Southern Halo) merits consideration from the Jeff Mullins shedrow.
The complete cast, from the rail with pilots, is Leave Me Alone, Tyler Baze;
GN. GROUP MEETING (General Meeting), Garrett Gomez; Cee’s Irish, Pat Valenzuela;
LADY BERTRANDO (Bertrando), Jon Court; SILVER DAWN (Silver Charm), Martin
Pedroza; Memorette, Alex Solis; Brooke’s Halo,
Victor Espinoza; and CHARISMATIC HEART (Charismatic), Corey Nakatani.
Leave Me Alone and Cee’s Tizzy both will carry 119 pounds, the rest tote 113.
