Daytona Gets the Checkered Flag

Nobiz Like Shobiz (Albert the Great) took the lion's share of the crowd's support, but it was Daytona (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) who got the glory with a front-running victory in Sunday's GI Hollywood Derby. Fresh off a break-through win in the GII Oak Tree Derby at Santa Anita Oct. 13, the European import was always holding the late run of Medici Code (GB) (Medicean {GB}), while Bold Hawk (Silver Hawk) ran on for third. Nobiz Like Shobiz came home a listless eighth.
