FIRST SUB-1:50 MILE OF THE YEAR

Risenshine Seaside, a stake winner last year for the Ron Burke Stable, paced the fastest mile of the year at The Meadows on Saturday, turning in a 1:49.2 effort in a mid-level conditioned pace.  It was just the second start of the 4YO season for the son of Downbytheseaside.  Driver Dave Palone left the gate from post 9 with Risenshine Seaside, who is owned by the Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Phillip Collura.  After getting parked to the ¼ in 27.1, Palone just kept his horse rolling, getting to the half in 54.3 and the ¾ in 1:21.2, then paced home in 28 flat.  It was a career best and was the fastest mile of the season at The Meadows by 4/5 of a second.
