Sponsored by: He'spuregold, ridden by Nik Juarez, wins the Irish War Cry Handicap at Monmouth Park. Owner and breeder John Bowers was so confident in the turf breeding of He'spuregold that he specifically targeted a summer stakes race for trainer Kelly Breen to point to with then-3-year-old maiden gelding this spring. That race was Saturday's $85,000 Irish War Cry Handicap and Bowers' faith was rewarded in a big way as He'spuregold skimmed the rail coming out of the final turn and went on to a one-length victory in the feature at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., just one race after breaking his maiden.
