Chip Tuttle
Chief Operating Officer
Chip Tuttle was named Chief Operating Officer
of Suffolk Downs in August of 2007, after having
previously held the position of Director of Marketing
and Communications at the East Boston oval from
1993-1997.
Tuttle’s affiliation with Suffolk Downs has an
interesting beginning. In 1991, as a sports reporter
with the Salem Evening News, he was assigned to
do a story on the reopening of the track under new
management. That led to his being named the
track’s Director of Public Relations in 1992.
With over 15 years of experience in the racing industry, he is currently serving as a
marketing consultant to the Breeders’ Cup. He was Vice President of Communications
for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association from 1999-2001 and has remained a
consultant to both the NTRA and Breeders’ Cup since then as a partner at Conover Tuttle
Pace Advertising and Public Relations in Boston.
Tuttle, who grew up in Salem, MA where he presently resides, also represented Suffolk
Downs as a consultant prior to being named to his current post.

Dear Media Member:
Welcome to what promises to be a memorable 72nd season of Thoroughbred
racing at Suffolk Downs. After making its triumphant return in 2007, the historic
Massachusetts Handicap has been designated as one of five qualifying races for the
Breeders’ Cup Classic in this year’s Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In”
series. The winner of this year’s MassCap will automatically qualify for entry in the
Breeders’ Cup Classic five weeks later, raising the stakes of our signature race to a
whole new level.
This year’s racing schedule will include the return of Friday twilight racing in the
months of June, July and August. First post time will be 3 p.m. For the second straight
year, there will also be live racing on Sundays from June through August, creating a
full weekend of racing action. Standard first post time on weekends is 12:45 p.m.
Whatever stories emerge over the course of our 103-day live racing season, our
Public and Media Relations staff will be available to assist you. Please do not hesitate
to contact us regarding the following services that we offer to all members of the

your arrival.
Research Assistance – Our extensive biographical, historical and statistical files
are available for use here at the track or can be forwarded via fax or e-mail for your
convenience. Suffolk Downs also provides action and head shot photographs from
both the past and present. If the information you are looking or is not available in
our office, we will do our best to locate it for you.

spectacular vantage points that Suffolk Downs has to offer, including the starting

federal withholding tax at time of cashing. Winning tickets may be cashed at Suffolk Downs

cashed until the last day of 2009).

History of Suffolk Downs
1935 - Pari-mutuel wagering is legalized in Massachusetts and Eastern Racing
Association is formed, headed by president Bayard Tuckerman Jr. and vice presidents
Allan J. Wilson and Richard E. Danielson. The group enlists the A.G. Tomasello &
Son construction company to break ground in the East Boston mud flats for Suffolk
Downs, the state’s first major racetrack. Just 62 days later, the task is completed.
Known for its fast racing strip, carefully groomed landscaping and the only concrete
grandstand in America, the $2 million facility is considered one of the most modern
and attractive in the country.
7/10/35 - Eddie Wrack, ridden by Carl Hanford, breaks his maiden, and in a manner
of speaking, so does Suffolk Downs. An estimated 35,000 turn out to watch the first
race ever run at the new track.
7/15/35 - Seabiscuit makes his Suffolk Downs debut, finishing fourth at 15-1 in a field
of nine in the Mayflower Stakes.
8/10/35 - Closing day of the inaugural meet draws a crowd of 52,726, a record
that stands until June 29, 1938 when over 60,000 will jam the track hoping to see
Seabiscuit and War Admiral square off in the MassCap.
10/16/35 - The Massachusetts Handicap is born, from humble beginnings and a
$25,000 purse. Top Row wins by a nose, followed by Whopper and 7-to-10 favorite
Discovery. The 1:49 2/5 time establishes a track record for 1 1/8 miles.
6/29/36 - Seabiscuit wins an
allowance race at 12-1, his
first win at the East Boston
oval in six tries. It is on this
day that his eventual trainer,
Tom Smith, first discovers him.
Smith will later recommend
that Charles Howard purchase
the horse, which he does in
August in Saratoga. Smith and
Howard would then transform
Seabiscuit into a national hero.
8/7/37 - Seabiscuit caps off his career-best seven-race win streak, besting 12 others
as the even-money favorite before an exuberant crowd of 40,000. Under jockey Red
Pollard, Seabiscuit breaks the track record for 1 1/8 miles, stopping the clock in 1:49.
The winner’s purse of $51,780 is the largest of Seabiscuit’s career, and would only be
surpassed in winning his final race, the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap.
8/14/37 - Rough Time beats Appealing by two lengths in the first match race ever
held at Suffolk Downs.
6/29/38 - A throng of over 60,000 shows up as Seabiscuit returns to Boston to defend
his MassCap title. However, the eagerly-anticipated meeting between Seabiscuit
and War Admiral, the 1937 Triple Crown winner, will have to wait as Seabiscuit is
scratched due to an injury just minutes before post time. Menow (10-1) scores an
upset victory in the field of six, as 2-5 favorite War Admiral finishes fourth, ending a
string of 11 consecutive wins. It is the only time that War Admiral will run out of the
money in his 26-race career. Seabiscuit and War Admiral would ultimately square off
in their famed match race at Pimlico in November.
7/12/39 - Preakness winner Challedon finishes off the board behind MassCap winner
Fighting Fox. In the 1940 MassCap, he will finish third. Despite the losses, Challedon
is named Horse of the Year in both ’39 and ’40.
6/14/40 - Sue Harper, ignored by the betting public at 221-to-1, romps home to the
tune of $445.00, the largest return on a win wager ever at Suffolk Downs.
7/16/41 - War Relic skips home in the seventh MassCap toting 102 pounds, the
lightest load ever carried by a MassCap winner.
7/15/42 - Even-money choice Whirlaway rallies from last to win the eighth MassCap.
The winning purse establishes him as the leading money-earner of all time,
replacing Seabiscuit. He will be named Horse of the Year after winning ten other
stakes races this season. Whirlaway’s 1 1/8 miles track record of 1:48 1/5 will not be
matched for 31 years.
8/12/43-Suffolk Downs donates $625,000 to the National War Fund, the single
largest contribution by any sports venue in support of the war effort. Six weeks later,
an additional $10,885 is donated. Both contributions are funded by an 18-day War
Charity meet.
5/15/44 - Boston broker Gordon Hanlon purchases the stock of the Eastern Racing
Association. His interest as the second owner of the track will last but one year.
6/11/45 - Operation of Suffolk Downs is overtaken by the Aldred Investment Trust,
with Allan Wilson as president.
8/11/45 - First Fiddle becomes the first horse to win two MassCaps. The afternoon
is marred, however, as fans riot after the last race when favorite Johnny Jr. is
disqualified. Rocks and bottles are thrown and the stewards’ stand is toppled. The
tote board is wrecked before police can restore order.
8/11/45 - The 50-day meet is the first at Suffolk Downs to yield an average daily
handle over $1 million. Although the $1,114,173 mark will be eclipsed the following
season, the 18,388 average attendance mark has not been equaled in over 50 years.
5/27/46 - For the third time in as many years, a new meeting begins with new
ownership. Judge John C. Pappas leads a group of successful bidders at a public
auction to purchase Suffolk Downs.
7/4/46 - Champion two-year-old colt and Belmont Stakes winner Pavot wins his
showdown with the great racemare Gallorette, who checks in third in the 12th
running of the MassCap.
7/30/47 - Stymie, claimed for $1,500 as a two-year-old, becomes the first horse ever
to eclipse the $700,000 earnings mark. Stymie is so heavily bet that a minus show
pool of $25,887 is created. The tote board actually jams briefly due to the flood of
money wagered on the favorite.
4/19/48 - Day One of the meet attracts 35,529 fans, the largest Opening Day crowd ever.
7/29/48 - Racing from Suffolk Downs is televised in Boston for the first time, on
WBZ-TV 4.
8/14/48 - Beauchef tallies in the 14th MassCap, the first to be run at 1 1/4 miles. It
will stay at that distance through 1969, move to the turf at 1 1/2 miles in 1970 and
6
’71, then return to 1 1/8 miles from 1972 onward.
6/10/53 - Count Turf, winner of the 1951 Kentucky Derby, travels to Boston as a fiveyear-old and gets in the MassCap at 107 pounds. The best he can manage is third,
behind 125-pound highweight and 9-to-10 favorite Royal Vale.
6/24/59 - Day Court crosses the wire first in the silver anniversary running of
the MassCap, but is the only winner ever disqualified from that race. He is placed
second, behind Air Pilot, after a roughly ridden race. Jockey Henry Moreno, aboard
Day Court, had grabbed Jack Leonard, the rider of Air Pilot, several times inside the
sixteenth pole. Air Pilot, at age eight, will win this race again in 1962, making him
the oldest horse ever to win a MassCap.
5/30/60 - A single-day handle record is established as $2,175,836 is wagered on the
11-race Memorial Day card. That mark will stand until the 1990’s and the advent of
simulcasting.
3/1/64 - The first Suffolk Downs ownership change in 18 years occurs, as energetic
businessman David Haber purchases the Pappas stock.
4/19/65 - An Opening Day handle
record is set when $1,677,031 is
bet on the first day of the Spring
meeting.
6/23/65 - Smart wins his second
consecutive MassCap, joining First
Fiddle (1944 & 1945) and Air Pilot
(1959 & 1962) as the only two-time
MassCap winners to this date.
5/16/66 - Canal blazes six furlongs
in 1:08 1/5, setting a track record
that has yet to be equaled.
7/4/66 - In what is widely considered to be the most bizarre happenstance ever at
Suffolk Downs, a disoriented fan runs onto the racetrack as the field storms down the
stretch in the 32nd running of the Mayflower Stakes. Amazingly, despite his jumping
right into the path of the frontrunners and being brushed by three horses, no one is
hurt and the incident has no effect on the outcome of the race. Happy Voter outgames
Taunton at the wire to win.
8/18/66 - The
Beatles play an
infield concert at
Suffolk Downs.
Over 25,000 fans
attend what will be
the Fab Four’s last
appearance ever in
Boston.
6/21/67 - Good
Knight, who will win
only six times from
87 career starts, runs
the race of his life to win the 33rd MassCap. The longest shot on the board returns
$115.20.
7/4/67 - Leroy Moyers pilots seven winners from nine mounts on the closing day of
the season, a Suffolk Downs riding record.
4/19/68 - The Spring meeting starts with a new, reconstructed infield turf course.
1/6/69 - Maverick baseball team owner and innovative promoter Bill Veeck takes over
the management of Suffolk Downs. His two-year tenure in Boston will be dotted with
popular — although unconventional — promotions, such as chariot races, livestock
giveaways and mock Indian battles in the infield. Lost in the hoopla will be several
benchmark legal victories, including one in which Veeck sues the state to allow
children to attend the races.
6/28/69 - Jean-Pierre wins the inaugural running of the Yankee Gold Cup. With a
total purse of $252,750, the about-two-miles grass event is the richest turf race in the
world at the time.
6/18/70 - The summer season concludes and the track is converted to prepare for
the Fall harness meeting. It will be the final Standardbred session at Suffolk Downs,
which has been racing trotters and pacers under the lights since 1959.
4/3/71 - The racing season begins under new management. Jim Edwards, a
prominent horse owner, real estate developer and owner/operator of Waterford Park
in West Virginia, is the new Suffolk Downs boss.
6/23/71 - Chompion, who had failed in the previous three MassCaps, becomes only
the second horse to make a fourth start in the race and finally gets the job done. This
distance grass specialist had dead-heated to tie the 1 3/8 miles turf record at Suffolk
in the Getaway Day Handicap last July.
12/15/71 - Racing dates top 100 and extend into December for the first time. As
a result, the total handle for the year exceeds $100 million for the first time, as
$114,319,925 is bet over the 138-day season.
2/24/72 - James Edwards’ National Raceways Inc. transfers ownership of Suffolk
Downs to Ogden Corporation.
3/4/72 - Opening day of the Spring meeting is not without several interesting events.
The sixth race is declared “no contest” and all bets are refunded when the starting
gate tractor stalls and the barrier cannot be moved from the frontstretch at the
70-yard pole. In the nightcap, Winter Street, Jaunty Note and Veiled Threat cross the
finish wire in that order, paying $165.80 in the first trifecta ever in New England
thoroughbred racing.
4/30/72 - The first Sunday racing card in Massachusetts lures 10,424 patrons to
Suffolk Downs, who wager $809,864 on the nine-race program.
1/17/73 - After a 17-day ban and up to a $100,000-a-day drop-off in handle, the
perfecta wager is back at Suffolk Downs. The racing commissions of Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island collectively barred the bet on Jan. 1 over concerns
of fixed races. When no such evidence was found, the exotic wager was unanimously
reinstated by the State Racing Commission.
6/17/73 - Riva Ridge, winner of the 1972 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, faces
off in the MassCap against Bee Bee Bee, who stole the Preakness from him the
previous year. Riva Ridge leads at every call, equals Whirlaway’s 1 1/8 miles track
record of 1:48 1/5 and pays $2.80.
12/9/73 - On a rainswept afternoon, Sandy Hawley outduels six other riders from
around the country to capture the first annual winner-take-all North American
Riding Championship. Local rider Paul Capalbo, pinch-hitting for the absent Angel
Cordero Jr, is second.
6/19/77 - The MassCap is split into two divisions for the first and only time. Blue
Times takes the first split over eight others in 1:49 2/5. Swinging Hal wires the second
division in 1:49 1/5 over nine rivals.
5/25/79 - Green Gina and Duc de Idiot combine for a $16,515 daily double payoff, the
largest in track history.
6/24/79 - Future champion John
Henry finishes tenth in the 13-horse
MassCap field. He runs so poorly that
he does not even earn a comment in
the chartcaller’s footnotes.
3/1/80 - A mutuel clerks’ strike forces
the cancellation of racing for two days.
8/29/80 - The third New England
racetrack blaze in a month kills 14
horses at Suffolk Downs when an
electrical fire sweeps through Barn L

On July 29, the Rockingham Park
grandstand was completely gutted by
fire; an Aug. 19 barn fire killed seven
Standardbreds at Scarborough Downs
in Maine.
6/7/81 - Ring of Light tallies in the Suffolk Sprint, becoming the only horse ever to
win both that race and the MassCap (1980).
6/21/81 - Local longshot Soldier Boy, at 23-to-l, upsets the field in the 47th running
of the MassCap.
12/31/81 - Great
Combination, Dawn’s
Count and Needachant
cannot be separated at the
finish wire, registering
the track’s first and only
triple dead heat in the last
race of the final day of
the year. The triple-heater
is only the 17th in North
American racing history
since widespread use of
the photo-finish camera
began in 1940. There have
only been three others
since.
7/24/82 - Eleven horses die and several people are injured in a barn fire. It is the fifth
fatal backstretch fire at Suffolk Downs. A stable fire claimed four horses in 1954, six
in 1962, 11 in 1968 and 14 in 1980.
5/21/83 - For the first time, Suffolk Downs patrons are allowed to watch and wager
on a simulcast race from another track. A last-minute bill passed by the Legislature
granted the right to beam in the Preakness, which handled $161,456 in separate-pool
bets.
6/18/83 - Another New England-based racer scores in the MassCap, as Let Burn pulls
off a wire job in the 49th edition of that contest.
12/31/83 - Nick Petro becomes the winningest apprentice rider in the country with
253 tallies on the year.

final race in New England, as Peter Fuller’s homebred will go on to bigger and better
things at age three. With Fuller’s daughter, Abigail, in the irons, “Mom” will sweep
the Filly Triple Crown in New York and be named champion of her division.

1/13/85 - Longshots Mystic Transport, Nanum Roadrunner and Larry’s Pleasure
combine for record payouts in both the perfecta ($9,923.80) and trifecta
($51,778.00).
1/16/85 - Twin Trifecta-mania grips Greater Boston, as $663,l94 - a single-pool
mutuel record - is bet into the first half of the carryover wager. After bringing out
bettors from all over the Eastern seaboard, the draught is finally over on the 18th day
of the $641,213 carryover. The Everybody Laugh-Bill’s Story-Success Story combo in
the second half of the exchange pays $40,075.80 to 16 ticketholders.
6/22/85 - Bounding Basque stops the timer at 1:47 3/5 for 1 1/8 miles en route to his
MassCap victory, a track record for 1 1/8 miles that will stand for 13 years.
11/10/85 - Isopropyl and Sunset Gun are no secrets to the betting public. The logical
favorites run one-two, returning a record low $3.60 to perfecta backers.

become one of the most
famous finishes ever in
Suffolk Downs history, local
heroes Waquoit and Chris
McCarron outgun odds-on
favorite Broad Brush in a
“ding-dong battle to the
wire” in the 53rd MassCap.
9/11/87 - LeRoux and Belle Isle threaten to close Suffolk Downs unless the state
grants financial concessions to the fiscally troubled track. In January, the Legislature
passes a bill, which extends through 1989, enabling racing to continue.
3/5/88 - Jockey Carl Gambardella scores his 5,000th victory aboard John’s Golden
Apple, 32 years after his first winner and seven years before nailing win number
6,000.
5/22/88 - The record payout on a single ticket occurs when $374,876.10 is returned to
a lone Twin Trifecta winner.
12/30/89 - The darkest day in the history of Suffolk Downs. Tuned For More scores
in the nightcap, and after 2,317 patrons leave, management cancels the next day’s
season finale, fearful of vandalism to the plant. The track had made it known that
it would allow its license to expire on Dec. 31, under the premise that racing was no
longer profitable.
1990 to 1991 - No racing at Suffolk Downs.
5/91 - Sterling Suffolk Racecourse Ltd., guided by Chairman James B. Moseley and
President John L. Hall II, reaches an $8.5 million agreement with Belle Isle to lease
the Suffolk Downs property and obtain 1992 racing dates from the Legislature.
Over the course of the next seven months, an enormous reconstruction project will
transform the idle racetrack into a vibrant, thriving facility, with the backstretch,
grandstand and racing strip all upgraded and remodeled. In a traditional touch, the
Clubhouse facade is restored to its original 1935 grandeur.
11/91 - Suffolk Downs is awarded split-meet dates by the Massachusetts legislature
for 1992 and a three-year contractual circuit agreement is reached with neighboring
Rockingham Park. Suffolk Downs will get the bulk of the racing dates, in the winter,
spring and fall. Rockingham receives fewer dates but will race in the better weather
of summer.
1/1/92 - In a minute and 45 seconds, Larry of Florida erases the bitter memories of
the two-year hiatus of thoroughbred racing in Boston as he and jockey Rodolfo Baez
cruise home on top in the first race under the new Sterling Suffolk management.
Opening day lures 15,212 fans “back home” on a 65-degree day in the dead of winter.
The $1,417,636 handle includes money bet off-track at simulcast locations, as Suffolk
becomes the first track in the state to send a full-card simulcast to a satellite site.
11/22/92 - Rodolfo Baez nails down career victory number 3,000 aboard Sharpened
Luck.
3/28/93 - Local boy Chris McCarron rides into town the day after his 38th birthday

admirers and two wins and a second from his three mounts on the day.

Suffolk Downs, as the off-season phase of the plant’s renovation program gets
underway. The summer-long modifications include the state-of-the-art AmTote

historical tribute to MassCap winners in the Grandstand and a brand-new racing
strip on the main dirt track, built from the base up.
10/10/93 - Purses are raised by 40 percent — guaranteed — for the entire 1993 - ’94
racing season, an unprecedented move considering the industry is battling a sluggish
economy and tenacious competition from other forms of gambling. The result is one
of the strongest day-to-day overnight purse structures in the history of New England
racing.
6/3/95 -The storied
Massachusetts
Handicap returns
in grand style from
a six-year hiatus.
The country’s top
horse, Cigar, makes
the $250,000 feature
his eighth straight
victory, capturing a
$500,000 bonus in the
process. “Team Cigar”
— owner/breeder Allen
Paulson, trainer Bill
Mott and jockey Jerry
Bailey — will see their
star run roughshod over the competition for the remainder of the year, vaulting to
champion status and Horse of the Year honors after winning the $3 million Breeders’
Cup Classic.
10/20/95-A purse increase of $5,000 per day brings the average daily distribution to
$80,000. For the first time, Suffolk Downs has scheduled stakes racing every weekend
of the Fall meet. Improvements for the season include a redesigned Legends Bar &
Grill, improved lighting, backstretch and racetrack upgrades and remodeled paddock
and winner’s circle.

years. The jumpers will return again in 1997 for MassCap weekend festivities.
6/1/96 - Cigar, chasing Citation’s modern-day record of 16 straight wins and
shouldering the benchmark burden of 130 pounds, cruises home easily in the 57th
MassCap to the delight of 22,169 ecstatic patrons who pound the champ to 1-10
favoritism. It is the 15th consecutive win for the six-year-old, who scores under jockey
Jerry Bailey for the second straight year.
9/23/96 - The Fall meet opens at Suffolk Downs with the first of three experimental
“7-And-7” racing programs in conjunction with Rockingham Park. Alternating

afternoon.
12/28/96 - Purses are up 5% for the Winter/Spring meet, which resumes after a
three-week break from live racing.

Downs riding championship.
5/31/97 - Suffolk Downs hosts New England’s first $1 million racing day, offering a
total of six stakes on the 58th MassCap card. Awarded Grade III status and carrying
an incentive bonus of $500,000, the richest race in the region lives up to its billing,
as Skip Away fights off Formal Gold in the most intense MassCap stretch battle in a
decade. A record all-sources handle of $5,867,414 is wagered on the 13-race program.
7/7/97 - After four years of negotiations, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse Limited Liability
Company purchases Suffolk Downs from Belle Isle Ltd. for $40 million. The deal
insures stability and control over racing operations at the site and opens the door for
future development.
9/9/97 - Harness racing returns to Suffolk Downs for a single afternoon, as the track
is converted to accomodate a non-wagering program of trotters and pacers. The
Massachusetts Sire Stakes Series was left without a home earlier in the year with the
closure of Foxboro Park.
12/14/97 - Locally based Maybe Jack and Finger Lakes invader Pro On Ice, each tied
with 12 victories on the year, settle the score for the 1997 nation’s winningest horse
title with The Suffolk Showdown, a one-mile $15,000 match race. In the first such
head-to-head battle at Suffolk Downs in 60 years, the local hopeful concedes five
pounds to the speedy gray New Yorker (124 to 119). Sent away as the 1-to-2 favorite by
the closing-day crowd, Maybe Jack pulls away inside the eighth pole, wearing down
Pro On Ice by 9 1/2 lengths.

jockey Michel Lapensee. The venerable veteran will retire later in the year after
competing in two more races.
4/9/98 - James B. Moseley, the man credited with the revival of Thoroughbred racing
in Massachusetts, dies at the age of 66. The Suffolk Downs Chairman, a lifelong
sportsman, horse owner and breeder, had earned a reputation as an optimistic track
executive who took the time to chat with backstretch workers and mingle with fans
on the grandstand rail. At the helm of Suffolk Downs since 1992 when he bought the
track back from a two-year closure, his position on the board is succeeded by his wife,
Patricia.
5/18/98 - Trainer Aimee Hall saddles four winners from five starters, with husband
Jose Caraballo in the irons for all four victories. The four-win day is the first for any
Suffolk Downs conditioner on the season and is believed to be a national record for
most wins on a program by a married trainer/jockey combo.
5/30/98 - An impressive Skip Away repeats in the MassCap, leaving Puerto Madero,
K.J.’s Appeal and the nine-furlong track record in his wake. Shouldering 130 pounds,
the powerful gray stops the teletimer in 1:47.27 and also establishes Suffolk Downs
wagering marks for the all-time low trifecta ($7.40) and daily double ($3.60). The
3-to-10 favorite becomes the fifth two-time MassCap winner and is the third saddled
by trainer Hubert “Sonny” Hine, who also conditioned Skip Away’s sire, Skip Trial, to
a MassCap win in 1986.
6/7/1998 - Eddie Andelman’s 9th annual Hot Dog Safari to benefit the Joey Fund/

FOX handicap series.

legendary jockey since a tragic accident at Rockingham Park on August 4, 1999 left

race named in his honor and will join the staff at Suffolk later in the year, working
as an assistant to the Clerk of Scales and as a liaison between jockeys and track
management.
6/3/2000 - Running Stag, the 8-to-5 favorite, avenges his second-place finish in the
1999 Massachusetts Handicap by blasting past pacesetter David (5-to-1) and holding

edition of New England’s richest and most historic horse race.
12/16/2000 - Difficult Doll wins for the twelfth time of the year, defeating an

winningest racehorse in North America.

MassCap victory.

day.

Economic Impact
The economic impact of thoroughbred racing at Suffolk Downs begins with the horses,
jockeys, trainers, and employees at the track and extends far beyond, throughout the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The total spending statewide that thoroughbred racing
infuses into the state economy is many times greater than the initial injection, affecting
numerous industries throughout the state.

• Creates an expanding network of employment and taxable income for the state. An estimated
2,334 workers statewide are employed in jobs related to the horse industry at Suffolk Downs,
including helping on the racetrack backstretch, boarding and training farms, veterinary,
breeding and related agribusiness, mutuel tellers, and office and civic positions. Roughly
1,797 of these people work at the track itself. Additionally, there are about 500 owners of
racehorses stabled at Suffolk Downs. For skilled workers specifically involved in hands-on
horse care, racing is not just a way to make a living, it is a way of life.

creates business for Massachusetts farmers and jobs for those who process and deliver
those goods.

program keeps many farms in business across the state. It also ensures agricultural use
for land threatened by development and is instrumental in preserving open space.
• Serves as an important part of the social and cultural scene. Virtually every major city in
the country boasts a racetrack in close proximity to its urban center. In Boston, Suffolk
Downs provides an entertainment attraction to residents and visitors alike, many of whom
utilize local dining, shopping, hotel and transportation services in conjunction with a day
at the races.
• Suffolk Downs has paid over $227 million in purses to horsemen since re-opening in 1992.
• Suffolk Downs has infused over $24 million into the local economy through capital

Community Relations
Active in the community through a number of charities and community service organizations, Suffolk
Downs values the relationships it has earned with these groups and continues to work toward strengthening
and expanding its involvement with them.
Suffolk Downs understands the importance of being a good neighbor in its immediate and surrounding
communities. The track is a regular donor to community service organizations that support worthy causes
in both the track’s own backyard and nationally. The contributions benefit those who are part of the Suffolk
Downs show on a daily basis – fans, employees, backstretch workers and horses – plus local businesses and
civic groups, and local and national organizations committed to the betterment of our future. On any given
afternoon, fans are likely to open the track program and see the names of charitable organizations enjoying
a day at the races.
In the broader sense of the sport of thoroughbred racing, the track also strives to be among the leaders
when it comes to caring for the game’s equine and human participants. Suffolk Downs is committed to the
lifetime care of thoroughbreds once their racing careers are over and takes an active role in finding suitable
homes for them upon their retirement from racing.
In recent years, the track has extended its support to groups such as
the Salesian Boys & Girls Club of East Boston, CANTER New England,
Challenge Unlimited at Ironstone Farm, Crossroads Family Shelter,
Disabled Jockeys Fund, Don MacBeth Memorial Jockeys Fund, GraysonJockey Club Research Foundation, the Jimmy Fund, and the Thoroughbred
Retirement Foundation, Inc., to name a few. The track also contributes to
a wide-ranging group of local organizations in East Boston, Revere and
neighboring cities and towns.
The annual Hot Dog Safari, hosted by local radio personality Eddie Andelman, raises in the neighborhood
of $250,000 for the Joey Fund/Cystic Fibrosis Foundation each year. In 2007, Suffolk Downs hosted the
Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism for the first time. Over 16,000 walkers circled the track to raise funds
for autism awareness and research. Both events will return to
the track again this year.
This year, Suffolk Downs is introducing the “Community
Winner’s Circle” program to recognize individuals and
groups who have dedicated themselves to worthy causes in
the community.
Suffolk Downs is also committed to using local vendors and businesses in its operations, purchasing goods
and services from them for its day-to-day operations.

Larry Collmus has been the track announcer at Suffolk Downs since
it reopened in 1992. He recently completed his second season calling
the races at Gulfstream Park, the premier winter meet in the country.
Collmus, 41, is also the track announcer at Monmouth Park in New
Jersey, a post he’s held since 1994.
Pat Lamberty brings unique qualifications to his role as broadcast
analyst. Lamberty grew up in the Boston area and often attended
the races with his friends, developing a passion for Thoroughbred
racing that has carried him to numerous racing venues while always
bringing him back to his roots at Suffolk Downs.
Since coming to Suffolk Downs, Collmus has called racing cards
at other major tracks, including Aqueduct, Belmont Park and
Saratoga. He also made a journey across the Atlantic to call races
at Wolverhampton in England in March of 2004. Collmus has
participated in All-Star Announcers Day as part of Breeders’ Cup
weekend festivities on several occasions, including last year at
Monmouth Park.
Lamberty began his Suffolk Downs career as an intern in the Publicity
Department before taking over the broadcast duties at age 20. He
spent his summers between college as the handicapper and racing
analyst at Monmouth Park. He has been a guest handicapper at Calder
Race Course and an analyst for the New York City Off-Track Betting
Corporation.
He has traveled the world to learn all aspects of Thoroughbred racing,
spending three weeks in 2003-04 on the hallowed grounds of Ballydoyle, the base for trainer Aidan O’Brien
and industry juggernaut Coolmore’s European racing stock.
Prior to 1992, Collmus was the track announcer at Golden Gate Fields in the San Francisco Bay area.
He began his stint in Northern California in 1988. In 1987, Collmus became Birmingham (Alabama)
Turf Club’s first track announcer. At just 20 years of age, he was the youngest full-time announcer in the
country. He called his first race at Bowie Race Course in Maryland in 1985 and served as the assistant track
announcer on the Maryland circuit until 1986.
Lamberty is also a member of the management team at Centennial Farms, assisting in the formation of
racing and breeding partnerships. Centennial recently campaigned Corinthian, winner of the inaugural
Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and an Eclipse Award finalist in 2007.
He is a graduate of Newman School and Boston University School of Management.

T.D. Thornton’s route to the announcer’s booth literally and
figuratively runs through the Suffolk Downs press box.
Though just 23 years old, Jessica Paquette has some unique racing
experience. As a teenager, she was a member of the inaugural “Kids to
the Cup” program founded by the late Trudy McCaffery, a prominent
thoroughbred owner and breeder who wanted to give youngsters
interested in racing the opportunity to attend major races and be able
to interact with owners, trainers, jockeys and horses. After getting an
up close and personal look at the 1999 Breeders’ Cup at Gulfstream
Park, Paquette’s interest in racing has only grown stronger.
After growing up a few furlongs away from Rockingham Park in
Salem, NH, Thornton graduated with a degree in journalism from
the University of New Hampshire. He worked as a general assignment
reporter for the Boston Globe and several other Massachusetts daily
newspapers, and in 1991, he jumped at the chance to fuse his twin
passions of horse racing and writing. He penned columns on the
New England beat as a hard-hitting staffer for The Racing Times
before being hired one season later by Suffolk Downs as the track’s
first broadcast handicapper. Along the way, he learned the finer points
of race-calling from a patient Larry Collmus.
Paquette joined Suffolk Downs as a part-time publicist in 2006 and
soon after was showcasing her handicapping skills in the form of
comments and selections in the track program and providing pre-race
paddock analysis. This will be her third season as a member of the
broadcast team.
Thornton served as the track’s director of public and media relations from 1997-2000. He stepped away
from his full-time duties at Suffolk Downs in 2001 to launch a career as a freelance racing industry
consultant, but still enjoys stepping behind the mike at the East Boston oval on a seasonal basis. Since
the return of summer racing in 2003, Thornton has been the primary voice in those months when Larry
Collmus is calling at Monmouth Park. The 40-year-old Rowley resident enjoys writing, sea kayaking and,
of course, visiting other racetracks.
Paquette attended the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program before returning home to
New England, where she is currently enrolled at Rivier College in Nashua, NH.
When not at the track or in class, the Lowell native finds time to train for regional and national fitness
competitions.

Brass Hat stormed from off the pace to nail the frontrunners inside the final furlong of the $500,000
Massachusetts Handicap, winning the richest and most historic horse race of the Suffolk Downs season by
¾ lengths on Saturday, September 22, 2007.
Fairbanks, backed to odds-on favoritism, stumbled slightly at the start, but second-place rider Richard
Migliore said that was not the reason for failing to run down the resilient Brass Hat.
Brass Hat returned $10.20, 3.80 and 3.00 to his winning backers in the crowd of 19,191, the largest
attendance at the East Boston racecourse since the legendary Cigar won the MassCap in 1996.
“I don’t really think it cost him,” said Migliore. “He recovered, going forward… All in all, my horse ran
well, he was second best today, but I think he gave his ‘B’ effort today; I think he’s capable of running
better.”
Heavily favored Fairbanks was second, returning 2.20 and 2.20. Dr. Pleasure was third at 2.80. The final
time for the 1 1/8 miles was 1:49.72.
Fred Bradley, the winning owner, was especially pleased at Brass Hat’s effort because he had raised the
racehorse himself in partnership with his son, trainer William “Buff” Bradley.
“Our plan was not to let Fairbanks get an easy lead, keep [Brass Hat] happy and get a good position,” said
winning jockey Willie Martinez. “Since we had the outside post, I was able to track everybody and dictate
the race. Once I got to the first turn, we knew how good he was going to finish the race, so I was very
confident that there was only one horse to beat [Fairbanks] going down the backside.”
“I can’t describe it; he’s just special, that’s all,” Fred Bradley said. “He’s a family horse, that’s the main
thing. Buff and I bought his mare, and we bred it and we foaled it, trained it and everything. It’s just been
a family operation, and I really appreciate it.”

BRASS HAT up close and four wide into the first turn, made a three wide move into the far turn, wore down the leader in
mid‑stretch then was kept to steady urging through the final furlong. FAIRBANKS bobbled slightly at the start, raced up close
two wide, edged clear into the far turn then grudgingly yielded to the winner late. DR. PLEASURE raced close up from inside
rivals, loomed three wide along the far turn then gradually weakened final eighth. EVENING ATTIRE showed in contention three
wide early, couldn’t keep pace racing into the stretch then steadily faded. SHUFFLING MADDNES was rank into and along the
first turn, made a mild bid outside into the stretch, lugged in a bit into upper stretch then gradually faded. PALLADIO settled
near the inside, lacked a menacing response then weakened through the stretch. FIRE STRIKER assumed command early,
dueled inside rivals into the far turn, had no response and tired.

1935—From humble beginnings and a $25,000 purse, the
Massachusetts Handicap is born. Top Row wins by a nose,
followed by Whopper and 7-to-10 favorite Discovery. The 1:49 2/5
time establishes a track record for 1 1/8 miles.
1936—Time Supply provides all the early pace for a 7-to-2
score, three lengths ahead of 69-to-1 bomb Gov. Sholtz. Stand
Pat, at 8-to-1, completes the order of finish. Conspicuous
by their absence from the top three placings are the 11-to10 favored entry of Discovery and Good Gamble, although
Discovery can blame crowding on the first turn as a legitimate
excuse for his eighth-place performance.
1937—Seabiscuit caps off his career-best seven-race win
streak, besting 12 others as the even-money favorite before an
exuberant crowd of 40,000. Under jockey Red Pollard, Seabiscuit
Seabiscuit, 1937
breaks the track record for 1 1/8 miles, stopping the clock in
1:49. The winner’s purse of $51,780 is the largest of Seabiscuit’s career, and would only be surpassed in winning his final race,
the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap.
1938—A throng of 60,000 shows up as Seabiscuit returns to Boston to defend his MassCap title. However, the eagerly-anticipated
meeting between Seabiscuit and War Admiral, the 1937 Triple Crown winner, will have to wait as Seabiscuit is scratched due
to an injury just minutes before post time. Menow (10-1) scores an upset victory in the field of six, as 2-5 favorite War Admiral
finishes fourth, ending a string of 11 consecutive wins. It is the only time that War Admiral will run out of the money in his 26race career. Seabiscuit and War Admiral would ultimately square off in their famed match race at Pimlico in November.
1939—Preakness winner Challedon finishes off the board behind Fighting Fox. In the 1940 MassCap, he will again lose the
race. But despite the defeats, Challedon will be named Horse of the Year in both seasons.
1940—Eight Thirty equals Seabiscuit’s 1:49 track mark for the 1 1/8 miles while registering a one-length score over Hash,
with Challedon another 1 1/2 lengths behind. The hard-luck Challedon earns a “sterling effort” comment from the MassCap
chartcaller.
1941—War Relic skips home under 102 pounds, the lightest weight assignment for any MassCap winner. His victory shaves
another 2/5 of a second off the previous stakes and track mark for 1 1/8 miles.
1942—Whirlaway becomes the only Triple Crown winner to score in the MassCap, setting a track record of 1:48 1/5 for the
1 1/8 miles. The only other Triple Crown winners to race in the MassCap, War Admiral (1938) and Assault (1949), will both
run fourth. The winner’s share of the MassCap purse establishes Whirlaway as the leading money-earner of all time, replacing
Seabiscuit. Whirlaway will be named Horse of the Year after winning ten other stakes races during the season. This is the second
MassCap riding win for George Woolf, who also tallied in 1935 with Top Row.
1943—The 6-to-5 Market Wise makes a last-to-first rush for a one-length win over Salto, the longest shot on the MassCap board
at 24-to-1. Don Bingo checks in third at 19-to-10.
1944—First Fiddle “responded readily when roused for the drive” to win the tenth MassCap over Alex Barth and Alquest.
Legendary jockey Johnny Longden rides the first of his two MassCap victories aboard First Fiddle.
1945—First Fiddle follows his 1944 tally in this race with a repeat victory, becoming the first two-time winner of the MassCap.
The afternoon is marred however, as fans riot after the last race when favorite Johnny Jr. is disqualified. Rocks and bottles are
thrown and the stewards’ stand is toppled. The tote board is wrecked before police can restore order.
1946—Champion two-year-old colt and Belmont Stakes winner Pavot wins his showdown with the great racemare Gallorette,
who checks in third. The second-place finisher is once again Dinner Party, who was also the bridesmaid in the 1945 MassCap.
1947—Stymie, claimed for $1,500 as a two-year-old, becomes the first horse to eclipse the $700,000 earnings mark with a $2.60
MassCap win. Stymie is so heavily bet that a minus show pool of $25,887 is created. The tote board actually jams briefly due to
the flood of money bet on the favorite.
1948—Beauchef becomes the first foreign-bred horse (Chile) to win the MassCap, in the first 1 1/4 miles edition of the race.
The 2-to-1 favorite broke last in a field of twelve, “rallied under stout pressure, caught the leader inside the final sixteenth and
won drawing out.” The MassCap will remain at ten furlongs through 1969, switch to 1 1/2 miles on the turf in 1970 and 1971,
then return to its original distance from 1972 onward.
1949—First Nighter, sired by 1940 MassCap winner Eight Thirty, ekes out a neck victory over Going Away and Michigan II over a
“heavy” track. Assault, the Horse of the Year in ’46, is 2-to-5 in the five-horse field and can manage no better than fourth.
1950—The three betting favorites finish in order in the MassCap, with Cochise four lengths in front of My Request, who is a
half-length better than Loser Weeper. At 98 pounds, Bernie Moose is the lightest weight-bearer ever in the history of the race.
This year’s purse is halved to $25,000 added, and will remain at that level until 1952.
1951—One Hitter provides jockey Ted Atkinson with his second MassCap win. He also scored in 1941 with War Relic. This year’s
edition is the second consecutive MassCap win for breeder Greentree Stud, who also bred 1950 winner Cochise.
1952—Market Wise becomes the second MassCap winner (1943) to sire another winner of this race, with To Market. His progeny
will strike again in 1954, when Wise Margin also tallies in the MassCap. This year’s purse is boosted to $35,000 added.
1953—Royal Vale (England) is the second foreign-bred horse to win the MassCap, which is once again contested for $50,000
added. The 1951 Kentucky Derby winner, Count Turf, gets in the MassCap at an astoundingly light 107 pounds, but the Classic
winner can only manage third in a five-horse field.
1954—Wise Margin joins To Market as the second son of 1943 MassCap winner Market Wise to score in the MassCap. Find and
Royal Vale are second and third.
1955—Against three others in the smallest MassCap field ever, Helioscope establishes a track record for 1 1/4 miles, with a 2:01
clocking. His mark still stands.
1956—Bill Boland gets his second MassCap riding win with Midafternoon after scoring in 1952 with To Market. According to
the chartcaller’s notes, the four-year-old bay colt “opened up a clear advantage into the stretch and was in hand at the finish,
winning in the easiest sort of manner.”
1957—Greek Spy emerges from the MassCap victorious, a length in front of Illusionist. Tick Tock is third.
1958—Hirsch Jacobs gets his second MassCap training win with 4-to-5 favorite Promised Land. He had previously conditioned
’47 race winner Stymie. One-Eyed King and Clem round out the order of finish.
1959—The first and only disqualification for win in the MassCap occurs in its silver anniversary running, which now carries
a $75,000 added purse. Day Court crosses the finish wire first, but has his number taken down after his jockey, Henry Moreno,
grabs Jack Leonard, the rider of Air Pilot, several times inside the sixteenth pole. The official order of finish will be Air Pilot, Day
Court and Bald Eagle.
1960—Danada Farm (breeder), Ada L. Rice (owner) Clyde Troutt (trainer) and Olympia (sire) all get their second consecutive
winner of the MassCap in the form of Talent Show. Polylad and Battle Neck run second and third. The MassCap purse dips back
to its previous $50,000 level.
1961—Eddie Arcaro, who guided Cochise to a MassCap win in 1950, scores again aboard last year’s runner-up, Polylad.
1962—Air Pilot becomes the second repeat winner of the MassCap (he also won in 1959 via disqualification), and also the
oldest winner, at age eight. This time he turns the trick for different connections, having changed ownership in the interim
between victories. The pesky Polylad again finishes in the money, getting second, while Ambiopoise runs third.
1963—Crimson Satan wins the MassCap, pulling away at the finish for a 2 1/2-length margin. There are some interesting alsorans in the race, however. Polylad, at age seven and three times in the MassCap money, runs fifth. Smart, who will win this race
the next two seasons, is sixth.
1964—Smart edges a desperate head in front at the wire to best Sunrise County and Steel Viking in the 30th edition of the
MassCap.
1965—Smart wins the MassCap in consecutive years, joining First
Fiddle and Air Pilot as the third repeat winner of this race. This time
his victory margin is diminished to only a nose, just ahead of 3-to-10
favorite Gun Bow, who is five lengths clear of third-place Tenacle.
1966—An odds-on favorite loses the MassCap for the third straight
year. Fast Count, at 18-to-1, heads the 7-to-10 Pluck at the finish. The
purse has been elevated once again to the $75,000-added plateau.
1967—Good Knight, who will win only six times from 87 career
starts, runs the race of his life to win the 33rd MassCap. His winning
mutuel of $115.20 is the highest ever for this showcase race, which is
once again a $50,000-added contest.
1968—Out Of The Way provides a second MassCap training win
for Max Hirsch, who also graced the winner’s circle in 1952 with To
Market. Big Rock Candy and King’s Palace round out the order of
Whirlaway, 1942
finish.
26
1969—Beau Marker wins the last 1 1/4 miles MassCap, giving
jockey Leroy Moyers his second score in this race. He also won in
1962 with Air Pilot.
1970—Semillant (France) becomes the third foreign-bred horse
to win the MassCap, which is now contested at 12 furlongs on the
grass for a $75,000-added purse. Drumtop was second; Jungle
Cove third.
1971—Chompion, who had failed in three previous attempts,
makes a fourth start in the MassCap and finally gets the job
done. He sets a stakes record for the 1 1/2 miles turf distance
with a 2:34 2/5 clocking. Chompion is the fourth MassCap
winner bred by C.V. Whitney, who also sent out First Fiddle in
Riva Ridge, 1973
1944 and 1945 and Fast Count in 1966.
1972—Hawthorne shipper Droll Role is a three-length victor over Hitchcock and Native Royalty as the MassCap is restored to
nine furlongs on the dirt with a $100,000-added purse.
1973—In a grudge match of sorts, Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner Riva Ridge faces off against Bee Bee Bee, who
stole the Preakness from him the previous season. Riva Ridge leads at every call, ties Whirlaway’s stakes and track record of 1:48
1/5 for 1 1/8 miles and returns a slim $2.80 to win. It is the second MassCap training win for Lucien Lauren, who also won in
1969 with Beau Marker. The purse is back to $50,000-added.
1974—Billy Come Lately pulls off a mild upset at 11-to-1, but perhaps more dubious is the fourth-place finish of 3-to-5 favorite
True Knight, who begins a long losing streak for MassCap chalk players. Favorites will lose 15 consecutive MassCaps (including
both divisions in 1977), until Lost Code wins at 4-to-5 in 1988. The purse has been upped to $75,000 guaranteed.
1975—Ron Turcotte earns his second win as a jockey in the MassCap, guiding 5-to-1 Stonewalk home two years after his tally
astride Riva Ridge. The 5-to-2 Group Plan is second. Mongongo is third at 58-to-1 in what is now a $100,000 guaranteed race.
1976—Lord Rebeau, the 9-to-2 third choice, looks ready to pounce going into the far turn, but jockey Craig Perret finds himself
caught in a sandwich between the 9-to-1 Dancing Champ, the eventual winner, and Designated Hitter, a 272-to-1 also-ran. Lord
Rebeau stumbles and drops back to eighth, while Dancing Champ and jockey Chris McCarron survive a foul claim for the local
rider’s first score in the MassCap.
1977—The MassCap is split into two divisions for the first and only time. Blue Times takes the first heat over eight others in 1:49
2/5, while Swinging Hal wires the second division one-fifth of a second faster over nine rivals.
1978—Big John Taylor “entered the home lane with a comfortable advantage and was under moderate left-handed whipping”
to stave off Giboulee and Buckfinder in the 44th MassCap.
1979—Future champion John Henry finishes tenth in a 13-horse MassCap field. He runs so poorly that he does not even earn a
comment in the chart footnotes of the race. He’s eleven lengths behind race winner Island Sultan.
1980—Ring of Light wins the MassCap, which has just been accorded Grade III status. One year later, he will become the only
horse to win both this race and the Suffolk Sprint.
1981—With the race now valued at $150,000-added, local longshot Soldier Boy, the second-highest price on the tote board at
23-to-1, upsets the 47th MassCap field. It’s bombs away all around, as second-place runner Niteange is 50-to-1 and show horse
Driving Home is 11-to-1.
1982—Silver Supreme, relegated to the two-horse mutuel field and ignored in the betting at 30-to-1, wins the MassCap by a
neck. Reef Searcher is second, and the favorites’ jinx continues as the 17-to-10 Canadian invader Frost King is third, beaten only
a neck and a head.
1983—This year’s MassCap, moved up to Grade II status, goes to another New England-based racer, as Let Burn, trained by Bill
Perry, pulls off a wire job ahead of Space Mountain and Bemedalled.
1984—The 50th MassCap is won convincingly by Dixieland Band. The 5-to-1 winner is 2 1/4 lengths faster than Ward Off
Trouble (9-to-2), with Vigumand 1 1/4 lengths farther behind.
1985—Bounding Basque stops the MassCap timer at 1:47 3/5, establishing a track record for 1 1/8 miles. that will stand for 13
years. Whirlaway (1942) and Riva Ridge (1973) had shared the previous mark with 1:48 1/5 timings for their MassCap victories.
1986—Contesting the MassCap with a beefed-up $200,000-added purse, Skip Trial wears down ’85 Belmont Stakes winner
Creme Fraiche after that rival actually puts a head in front at midstretch. El Basco is third.
1987—In what will become one of the most—if not the most—thrilling finish in Suffolk Downs history, local heroes Waquoit
and Chris McCarron outduel even-money favorite Broad Brush in a stirring stretch duel drive. Announcer Jim Hannon’s voicecracking call of the “ding-dong battle to the wire” is likely the most famous race call in New England racing history.
1988—Favorite Lost Code bests a field of five by 7 3/4 lengths, the second-largest winning margin in MassCap history. The 4-to5 public choice also breaks the losing streak of 15 consecutive MassCap favorites, going wire to wire to snag the winner’s share of
the now $250,000-added purse. Waquoit runs second; Afleet third.
1989—Private Terms is a 3/4-length winner at 7-to-5, besting a field of eight for a $300,000 guaranteed purse. It will be the last
MassCap run until 1995, when Sterling Suffolk Racecourse Ltd. revives New England’s richest race.
1995—The national spotlight shines on Suffolk Downs as Cigar, just beginning to emerge as racing’s next superstar, brings
a seven-race winning streak into the first MassCap in six years. By sweeping the MassCap Bonus Series preliminary races,
Cigar is eligible to compete for an additional $500,000 on top of the winner’s share of the $250,000 guaranteed purse. Away at
prohibitive odds of 1-to-5, Cigar is never seriously challenged en route to an easy four-length victory, leaving longshots Poor But
Honest and Double Calvados in his wake. Cigar will go on to complete an undefeated season, winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic
in October to ensure 1995 Horse of the Year honors in the Eclipse Awards.
1996—In his first start since his $4 million victory over the planet’s best in the Dubai World Cup, Cigar has Boston whipped
into a frenzy in anticipation of his 15th straight win and title defense in the 57th MassCap. Escorted to Suffolk Downs by a State
Police caravan, the champ is mobbed by backstretch well-wishers and greeted by a throng of 22,169 who enthusiastically show
their support for Cigar before he even arrives in the paddock for New England’s richest race. Facing an overwhelmed field of
five in a race with no place or show wagering, Cigar is, in essence, chasing only Citation’s modern-day win streak of 16 and the
benchmark burden of 130 pounds. Effortlessly overtaking the field at the far turn, Cigar coasts to a 1-to-10 tally, earning owner
Allen Paulson a winning share of $400,000 (including MassCap Bonus earnings) and a place in history as the fourth two-time
race winner. Personal Merit is 2 1/4 lengths farther back in second, 10 1/4 lengths clear of Prolanzier.
1997—Skip Away wins a photo finish a head in front of Formal Gold after a stirring stretch battle, 3 1/2 lengths in front of Will’s
Way in third. Regaining Grade III status and carrying an upgraded purse of $300,000, the MassCap headlines New England’s
first million-dollar day in purses, with a total of six stakes on the card. Champion Three-Year-Old the previous season, the
7-to-10 favorite is following in the footsteps of sire Skip Trial, who also won the MassCap 11 years ago for trainer Hubert “Sonny”
Hine. The powerful gray earns a purse incentive bonus, based on previous graded stakes victories, of $500,000 for his total
winner’s share. At the windows, a $5,867,414 all-sources wagering record is established.
1998—Skip Away, toting 130 pounds, is the fifth two-time MassCap winner, establishing a track record for nine furlongs in
1:47.27. He outclasses a game Puerto Madero and K.J.’s Appeal as the definitive 3-to-5 favorite and lowers the all-time track
mutuel payouts for trifecta ($7.40) and the daily double ($3.60). Trainer Hubert “Sonny” Hine also sets a record by saddling his
third MassCap winner, passing seven other trainers tied with two each.
1999—Billed as a Grade II $600,000 match race between Kentucky Derby winner Real Quiet (4-to-5) and NTRA Champions on
FOX series points leader Behrens (9-to-10), the 60th MassCap nearly turns into a robbery by European invader Running Stag,
a come-from-behind closer who unexpectedly gets loose on the lead at 8-to-1. The English challenger is game inside the eighth
pole until nailed by a half-length at the wire in the final strides by a fast-finishing Behrens, with Real Quiet 3 1/4 lengths off the
winner in third.
2000—Against one of the deepest MassCap fields in years, 8-to-5 favorite Running Stag avenges his second-place finish from
last season by blasting past pacesetter David (5-to-1) before holding off a late surge from Brazilian-bred runner-up Out of Mind
(7-to-2) in the 61st edition of the New England’s richest and most historic horse race.
2001—Include, the second choice in a field of seven, takes advantage of a speed duel between even-money favorite Broken Vow
and Sir Bear, circling both rivals on the final turn to record his fifth straight stakes victory. It is a record fourth MassCap win for
jockey Jerry Bailey and the second for trainer Grover “Bud” Delp, who captured the 1976 edition with Dancing Champ.
2002—Macho Uno, stuck behind a wall of horses at the eighth pole, finds room under jockey Gary Stevens and passes the field
with authority to win the Massachusetts Handicap by 1 3/4 lengths over Evening Attire and 2001 winner Include. The race goes
on hiatus in 2003 before returning in 2004.
2004—Offlee Wild holds off favored 2003 Derby and Preakness winner Funny Cide and The Lady’s Groom in a rousing stretch
duel to post a head victory in a three-horse photo finish in the 64th MassCap in front of 17,280 fans. It is the first MassCap
victory for former local rider Edgar Prado.
2007—Brass Hat storms from off the pace under Willie Martinez to nail front-running Fairbanks inside the final furlong to win
by ¾ lengths. The crowd of 19,191 is the largest at Suffolk Downs since the 1996 MassCap.

MAKING THE GRADE
Each year the North American Graded Stakes Committee reviews the continent’s top races and assigns
numerical grades (I, II and III in descending order) for the most prestigious contests.
Since 1973, the selections have been based on purse requirements, quality of the field and historical/ longevity
aspects of each race. Suffolk Downs was awarded Grade II status for the MassCap in 1999 with the hope of
upgrading that ranking in future runnings of the race.
Listed below is the graded stakes history of the MassCap:
1983-1989, 1999-2002, 2004. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Grade II
1980-1982, 1997-1998 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Grade III

Massachusetts-Bred Stakes
M ASSAC H U SETTS T H O R O U G H B R E D
B R EE D E R S ’ ASSOC I AT I ON
The Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association was founded in 1981 to help gain passage of legislation to establish a Thoroughbred
breeding program for the Commonwealth. The resulting laws allocated a percentage of the handle at Suffolk Downs to a fund administered
by the MTBA. Raised from the initial mark of one-quarter of one percent, the MTBA now receives one full percentage point of the Suffolk
handle, which it uses to pay for owner, breeder and stallion incentive awards as well as a stakes race program for Massachusetts-breds.
Ask Queenie earned top New England-bred honors for the third straight year in 2007.

**Timing in hundredths available as of 1997. Because timing in fifths of a second is the industry standard, two clockings
are listed for some records in cases where hundredths timing is not known or when the rounded fifths method indicates
a tie. Note: New turf course installed for 1968 meeting. Above records are for new course only.
Behrens’ 1999 MassCap (left) set
a record for largest mutuel pool
for a single Suffolk Downs race,
but Skip Away’s ’97 MassCap
