Program Trading Gives Brown, Klaravich Another Hollywood Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

Crunched into 4-5 favoritism in the late stages, PROGRAM TRADING (GB) (r, 3, Lope de Vega {Ire}–Dreamlike {GB}, by Oasis Dream {GB}) got first run on his chief market rival Webslinger (Constitution) with a quarter-mile to run in Saturday's GI Hollywood Derby and found the wire by a diminishing neck. Allowed to find his rhythm towards the back of the field, with only Webslinger behind, the 250,000gns Tattersalls October yearling purchase was ridden patiently towards the rear by Flavien Prat and when the commonly owned Redistricting (GB) (Kingman {GB}) began to bear out approaching the stretch, Prat went for Program Trading in earnest. The duo engaged pacesetting Silver Knott (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) leaving the midstretch marker and just managed to hold off Webslinger, who flashed home from the tail to narrowly miss. Silver Knott was third. It was a record-equaling fourth Hollywood Derby for Chad Brown and a record-breaking third for Seth Klarman's Klaravich Stables. Sales history: 250,000gns Ylg '21 TATOCT. O-Klaravich Stables; B-Fittocks Stud & Arrow Farm & Stud; T-Chad Brown.
