1987 Massachusetts Handicap - Broad Brush -vs- Waquoit [01:56]
Waquoit, ridden by Chris McCarron, held off a late stretch drive by Broad Brush, the favorite, for an upset victory yesterday in the 53d running of the Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs in Boston. Waquoit, the top horse in New England last year, broke out immediately to lead the six-horse field and stayed in front until the sixteenth pole. Broad Brush, ridden by Angel Cordero, put a head in front, but McCarron urged Waquoit on and won by a nose. Broad Brush carried topweight of 126 pounds, conceding from 4 to 17 pounds to the rest of the field. Waquoit, who carried 117 pounds, was timed in 1:49 for a mile and an eighth and returned $10.60 for $2 to win. He earned $124560 for his owner, Joseph Federico, from the total purse of $207600. Finishing third was Tour d'Or, ridden by Tammi Campbell.

1988 Lexington Stakes - Risen Star -vs- Forty Niner [02:43]
Risen Star, a son of Secretariat who had never raced outside Louisiana, wore down Forty Niner in the final yards to win the $105600 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland by a head today and thoroughly muddle the outlook for the Kentucky Derby May 7. An authoritative victory by Forty Niner, last year's champion 2-year-old, would have sent him to Louisville as a solid favorite for the Derby and might have kept down the size of the field. Now, though, there is no clear Derby favorite and a full field of 20 seems likely. This is the second time Forty Niner has been run down in a middle-distance race this spring, and it is difficult to be enthusiastic about his chances at the longer Derby distance of 1 1/4 miles.
