At the Post: Plausible breaks Maiden with lots of style

Last Saturday, Plausible broke his maiden with style in the $25,000 Norman Hall Stakes.Trained by Wayne Rice and ridden by Arienne Cox, the two-year-old son of Indygo Shiner settled off the pace and rallied to earn his first victory by 2 3/4 lengths over first-time starter Lucky Sociano, completing five and a half furlongs in 1:09 3/5.”It was his first try on conventional dirt,” said Cox who was making her Suffolk Downs debut. “I just let him settle and he responded when I asked him, we really just had a more fitness than the first-time starters.”Plausible returned $5.00, 3.00 and 2.60. Lucky Sociano paid $7.00 and 6.00 while Puccinni returned $3.00.uHeading into today?s closing day of the 65-day 2014 racing season, Lynn’s Jay Bernardini tops the trainer standings with 58 victories and will be awarded with his first training title.New Hampshire native David Amiss is in the lead to earn his first riding title at Suffolk Downs with 61 wins, five ahead of Dyn Panell. Frank Bertolino?s Monarch Stables will take home their fourth consecutive leading owner title with 21 wins for the meet.uThe final race of the day is an allowance race which will be contested at a mile and seventy yards. The final race of the season has drawn a full field of twelve with Indy?s Illusion tabbed as the 5-2 morning line favorite.Trained by Kevin McCarthy, the four-year-old colt is by A.P. Indy and began his career by defeating eventual graded stakes winner Frac Daddy. In 2013, he competed in the Florida Derby and finished ninth behind the horse that would win that year?s Kentucky Derby, Orb. He will break from the outside post.Directly to his inside is Puget Sound, another son of top stallion A.P. Indy. The four-year-old gelding will be ridden by David Amiss for trainer Jay Bernardini, the connections that have dominated the standings all season. He is second choice on the morning line at odds of 4-1.uSuffolk Downs will mark today what is very likely the final day of racing at the 79-year-old racetrack with a series of tributes featuring the horses and the people who have built the track?s rich tradition dating back to its opening in 1935.Post time for the final day of live racing is 12:45 p.m.
