Must See

Wednesday, Suffolk Downs
Race 8: Almost certainly this’ll be one of the best races to watch this week. Gentleman Jerry (3-1) won his last race, a six-furlong affair on Saturday, wire-to-wire in a blazing 1:11+, Tejano Couture (2-1) is one of the classiest horses at the track, and these two aren’t even the only standouts in the field. [Results: As expected, Gentleman Jerry took the early lead and Tejano Couture stalked. Then, the unexpected: 18-1 Boardroom Drama surged in the stretch to win as Gentleman Jerry hung on for second, while Tejano Couture faded to fifth and the longshot of the race, 52-1 Seemslikeyesterday, ran third. Exciting.]
