With a score of 217.5, Michael Garnett and Hollywood Nites claimed the Non


Pro Masters championship, placed in the top 10 of the Non Pro Level 3, and finished 13th in the Non Pro Level 4. The night’s work paid $7,590, with $292 going to nominator Cardinal Hill Training Center. “I thought it was, up until the rollback, the best run we’ve had. We just missed


the stop a little bit,” Garnett said. “I think I might have been running out of horse a bit because it was so hot and humid, but other than that he finished up big. He’s a very steady horse.” That is a quality Garnett says Hollywood Nites possess in spades. “Probably the


word that describes him best is consistent. Before this, we won almost $80,000 with him. He’s been a really good horse,” Garnett shared. Garnett purchased Hollywood Nites, by Gunners Special Nite out of Dun It For


Chex, as a three-year-old from Cardinal Hill Training Center. “Franco Bertolani had him, and then Pedro Baiao who works for Martin Muehlstaetter showed him at the Futurity and won the Level 1 and 2 on him. I started showing him in the aged events after that,” Garnett explained. Complete results at www.NRHADerby.com. w
