Shamrock Fizzles

It was a disappointing day at the races. Purple S Shamrock finished fourth in the mud at Suffolk Downs, beaten by four lengths. The colt, after a strong start, look like he fishtailed down the stretch over the deep muddy surface. His chances were compromised by running outside his competitors for the entire race. The Friendly Ghost won the $12,700 purse over Burley Man. This was Shamrock's third race of the month. He'll likely be given some extra time off to regroup in the G-Biscuit Stable. With his $700 in earnings on Saturday, Shamrock has now won $104,800 lifetime. His younger brother, Purple Pirate, is expected to make his career debut in mid-August.
