  • NYRA Will Not Accept Entries from Hollendorfer Cont
    SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 2019 NYRA WILL NOT AFTER AN 84-YEAR RUN, CURTAIN TO COME DOWN ON SUFFOLK DOWNS SUNDAY ACCEPT ENTRIES by Bill Finley The first race-ever run at Suffolk Downs was a $1,000 maiden FROM HOLLENDORFER won by a horse named Eddie Wrack, his victory a popular one as he was sent off at 3-1 by an on-track crowd estimated at 35,000 people at the newly opened Boston track the Associated Press called "immense and lavish." They came that day, July 10, 1935, to welcome and celebrate a new track and one that was sure to be a centerpiece of what was emerging as a booming area when it came to Thoroughbred racing. The feature that day was the $5,000 Commonwealth Cup, won by Boxthorn, who had run 16th earlier in the year in the Kentucky Derby. He was ridden by Don Meade, the same Don Meade who won the infamous 1933 Derby aboard Brokers Tip after the "fighting finish" with jockey Herb Fisher that included the two slashing each other with their whips as their mounts neared the wire.
