Layoff Not a Problem for Violent Crime in The Knickerbocker
Violent Crime last raced in the middle of June, and it was an impressive result, getting a win in the Grade 3 MTH Stakes, but was there a problem with him that led to him needing the summer off? We would get our answer in the Knickerbocker, as the gelding ran a very similar race as he did four months ago, and again, that resulted in a win.

Superface Party may have gone off at odds of nearly 20/1, but the betting public must not have read the SRF. We expected the filly to do very well, and had her as our second choice, behind Lakota Wind, who ended up finishing second. Hopefully, whatever reasons were out there that Superface Party would not be a threat can be put to bed with this effort.
