Prize Host Triumphs in Hollywood Park America Handicap
Prize Host and Willie Harmatz exploded a Fourth of July firework display at Hollywood Park, winning the $54,200 America Handicap wire to wire.

Bagdad’s defeat leaves the $100,000 Hollywood Derby next week in doubt due to swelling in its front legs.
