MassCap Entries
A field of eight was drawn today for Saturday’s Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs:
PP | Horse | Jockey | ML |
1 | Dr. Pleasure | Velasquez | 6-1 |
2 | Palladio | Do Ramos | 12-1 |
3 | Who What Win | Bridgmohan | 15-1 |
4 | Fairbanks | Migliore | 7-5 |
5 | Shuffling Maddnes | Rojas | 12-1 |
6 | Fire Striker | Krigger | 30-1 |
7 | Evening Attire | Espinosa | 5-1 |
8 | Brass Hat | Martinez | 5-2 |
Fairbanks, making his first start since setting the pace and finishing fourth behind Lawyer Ron in the Woodward, looks like a legitimate favorite with his early speed and triple-digit Beyers, one scored winning the Tokyo City Handicap at Santa Anita last March, but morning line second favorite Brass Hat brings back class, veteran Evening Attire can’t be overlooked in his third attempt to take the MassCap, and Palladio — shipping in from Woodbine and with three wins at the 1 1/8 mile distance — is an intriguing upset proposition.
TVG will broadcast live from Suffolk Downs beginning at 1:00 p.m.; post-time for the MassCap is 5:23 p.m. There’s an all stakes pick four on the card, starting with race seven, the Collegian Stakes. I’ll be at Suffolk all Saturday, and if all goes as planned, posting throughout the afternoon.
Free PPs are available from DRF.
