An A.P. Like Dear Old Dad?

Fourteen years after his father won the Hollywood Futurity, A.P. Warrior will try to do the same in the Grade I today at Hollywood Park.

A son of A.P. Indy, who won the race for trainer Neil Drysdale and jockey Eddie Delahoussaye in 1991, then eventually became a horse of the year, A.P. Warrior will be seeking his third win in five starts in the 1 1/16 -mile Futurity.

Owned by Stan Fulton and trained by Eoin Harty, the dark bay colt, purchased for $1.3 million as a yearling, hasn’t raced since winning an allowance race by four lengths at 3-10 Nov. 4.

Garrett Gomez, who rode A.P. Warrior to his four-length maiden victory in his career debut at Hollywood Park on July 17, is back aboard the colt as Patrick Valenzuela chose to stay with the unbeaten Your Tent Or Mine.

Owned by Anthony Speelman and trained by Drysdale, Your Tent Or Mine, a son of Forest Camp, has won two sprints by a combined three lengths, one the Hollywood Prevue on Nov. 19.

Completing the field are Bob And John, Old Thunder, Norfolk Stakes winner Brother Derek and three maidens, Kobayashi, Ercu Egret and Jealous Profit.

Race of the day: Dreadnaught will attempt to defend his title in the $200,000 W.L. McKnight Handicap today at Calder. The Grade II at 1 1/2 miles on the turf is part of an all-stakes pick four at the Miami track. The other races in the sequence are the $200,000 La Prevoyante at 1 1/2 miles on the turf for fillies and mares, the $100,000 Kenny Noe Jr. Handicap at seven furlongs and the $100,000 Fred W. Hooper Handicap at 1 1/8 miles.

One for the road: Taint So looks like the controlling speed in the Kenny Noe Jr. Handicap and can go wire to wire for owner-breeder Alex Campbell Jr. and trainer Robert Reinacher. Javier Castellano will ride the 4-year-old Silver Deputy gelding.

Exotically speaking: An early pick four using Sugar Deputy, Dixie Courage and Bettersweetmoment in the first, Presumption, Orange ‘Em and Mysterious Cat in the second, Johnny Ice in the third and Wheaton Hall, Brooker and Distorted Rumor in the fourth.

Winners: (previous day/meet total): 4/75. Money: (previous day/meet total): $14.40/$406.20. Total money bet: $404.
