Shamrock Alert

OK, G-Biscuit Stable fans, you asked for it and here it is. Purple S Shamrock is entered in a $12,500 claiming race at Suffolk Downs today (Saturday, July 22.) The 4-year-old colt is in the 6th race. Shamrock is coming off a wire-to-wire score on July 11 and is fit for this 6 furlong challenge against five other contenders. Shamrock has won three of nine starts this year, earning $34,000. If he kicks to the lead, he'll be tough to beat. My only fear is that Shamrock has shown a tendency to slack off after a big win. In the racing game it's called a "bounce." But the big colt is clearly the class of the field. His main competitors are The Friendly Ghost and Wire Whip. I'll post the results tonight. I'm off to the races!
