CRAZY COYOTE now makes his second start over this racetrack
and he is eligible to improve with a race over the surface.
This gelding won four times in 2009 over tougher company and
he goes to the post for a barn that has done well since
transitioning here to Suffolk Downs from Delaware Park.
ROUGH SHOD HEIR dropped into this level for his last race
and he responded with a solid second-place finish. This
gelding will be coming from off the pace as he looks for his
first win since getting claimed by this barn in March.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBER has won five races here at Suffolk Downs
and he just missed in his most recent start after leading
almost the entire race. He looks a gate-to-wire threat and
has been on the board in three straight while racing at low
odds.
Race # 2
1. BANDSLAMMER 2. FREE CANDY 3. MONTE CARLO LAD
BANDSLAMMER will be tough to beat in this race as he now
drops in class for the high-percentage Assimakopoulos
stable. This son of Limehouse sold as a yearling for
$65,000, so his career began with decent expectations. He
will have to show he can run well off a layoff, but his
class looks strong compared to the form displayed by the
rest of the field. FREE CANDY has finished second at this
level in consecutive races, which makes him an obvious
contender. He has found some trouble in his recent races and
a clean trip could be all that is needed for him to record a
victory. MONTE CARLO LAD adds blinkers for this race after
showing little in his local debut back in late May. The
gelding bucked in the early part of the race, blowing any
chance of success. He now adds a rider that won the first
race of his career on Monday; gelding could be live at long
odds.
Race # 3
1. LIPSTICK 'N DESIRE 2. TRIPLE CONSOLIDATOR 3. ON THE
SHELF
LIPSTICK 'N DESIRE adds lasix for this race after finishing
sixth in her career debut. She was bet all the way down to
1-5 odds in that race and must have shown some ability in
the mornings to receive strong support at the betting
windows. She broke slowly in that race and was checked
entering the turn, so she does have excuses for her
performance. Expecting a better showing today for a high-
percentage outfit that excels with young horses.
TRIPLECONSOLIDATOR made her career debut earlier this summer
at Monmouth Park before coming here to New England. She was
third over this racetrack two starts back and can contend
for the win in this spot with minor improvement. ON THE
SHELF showed good early speed in her most recent race to
finish second behind an impressive winner. She fits well in
here off that effort and looks a solid contender.
Race # 4
1. HANGINGONTHEFUTURE 2. DEEP REGRET 3. ENVOY'S SECRET
HANGINGONTHEFUTURE finished seventh in his local debut when
sent to the post as the betting favorite. This gelding broke
his maiden over the turf last October at Belmont Park and he
has made only two starts this year, so he still has room to
improve on his recent form. DEEP REGRET has won over turf in
the past with his lone win coming back in June on the lawn
at Colonial Downs. He has run well in both races since
breaking his maiden and looks to fit well against this group
for a barn that has recently shipped to Suffolk from
Colonial Downs in Virginia. ENVOY'S SECRET deserves some
consideration in this race, as he is bred for the turf and
his sire was at his best when sprinting on the grass. This
gelding has raced just once on turf in career and deserves
another chance today.
Race # 5
1. GOLDEN MADNESS 2. INFO'S ESSENCE 3. DON'T ASK THE
DOC
GOLDEN MADNESS makes her first start since June and now
takes a major drop in class for this race. This filly
finished second by a neck against much tougher $25,000
company in June and she looks the one to beat in this race
now debuting for the Sienkewicz barn. INFO'S ESSENCE had
finished second at this level twice in the past before a
fifth-place finish in her most recent race. She is quick out
of the gate and is expected to contend for the early lead in
this field. DON'T ASK THE DOC has finished on the board
against $25,000 and $35,000 company in the past, so she
seems an obvious contender against this easier condition.
She is now making her local debut after three consecutive
off the board finishes at Monmouth Park.
Race # 6
1. COALTOWN LEGEND 2. FAIRLY CRAFTY 3. I'M IT WAYNE
COALTOWN LEGEND ships in from Aqueduct for 22% New York
trainer David Jacobson. This son of Jump Start has had
success against state-bred company on the NYRA circuit in
the past and he must be respected for a sharp barn that has
won with both horses they have brought to Suffolk Downs this
meeting. FAIRLY CRAFTY has won seven races here at Suffolk
Downs and his local history of success must be respected.
This ten-year-old gelding has been on the board against
slightly tougher company in his recent races and he comes
into this race in solid recent form. I'M IT WAYNE has won
three of five recent races and he is expected to be on or
near the lead in this field. This colt is now taking a minor
step up in class for 32% trainer Marcus Vitali.
Race # 7
1. NICOLETTI 2. COPING TIGER 3. GARLINGTON
NICOLETTI finished second at this level in his most recent
race after coming with a decent run. He was favored in that
race and still has room to progress off that race now making
just his third start since coming back from a brief layoff.
This gelding looks a solid contender for the victory. COPING
TIGER has not hit the board from five races here at Suffolk,
but he is now coming back for his second start of this form
cycle and he is expected to offer value at long odds on the
tote board. GARLINGTON showed major improvement to finish
second in his last race. This son of G1 winner Peace Rules
beat tougher $8,000 company when he broke his maiden and he
is good enough to contend for the win against this field.
Race # 8
1. SKIPTEASER 2. MY BEST PAL RED 3. PRINCE WOODMAN
SKIPTEASER has won five races here at Suffolk Downs in the
past and he was beaten just 2 1/2 lengths in his last start
at 84-1 odds. This gelding has always thrived over this turf
course and he could surprise today at long odds in a race
where he appears to be very competitive on paper. MY BEST
PAL RED won three races for over $83,000 in earnings in
2009. This gelding did not care for the wet track at
Saratoga in his last race, but he is expected to return to
form today now transitioning back to the turf for a high-
percentage outfit. PRINCE WOODMAN appears to be most
effective on turf, so he can be excused for getting beat
over the main track in his most recent race. This gelding
has not yet won for these connections, but the barn has been
live when shipping horses here from the tougher NYRA
circuit.
Race # 9
1. COCKTAIL MUSIC 2. INDIAN PROMISE 3. COPPER HEARTED
COCKTAIL MUSIC displayed major improvement in her last race
when second at 21-1 odds. She will most likely be forced to
send from the outside post in this race and she can contend
for the victory with another positive step forward today.
INDIAN PROMISE adds lasix for this race after showing brief
speed in her most recent race. She can improve with a race
over the surface for a barn that generally has success with
young horses. COPPER HEARTED came with a closing run to
finish second at this level when 20-1 odds last out. She ran
well in that race when going longer in distance and will now
need to show she can display the same form despite the
distance switch.
