The Hollywood Turf Express Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually during the second half of November at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California. Formerly a Grade III event raced at a distance of six furlongs on turf, it is open to horses age three and older. The race was not eligible for grading in 2011.[1] The race currently offers a purse of $150,000.

There was no race run in 2005 due to condition problems with the Hollywood Park turf course.

In 2013, there was a triple dead-heat for second place between No Silent, Chips All In, and Unbridled's Note.[2] The race was won by Boat Trip.[2]
