Devil’s Only Friend gets 2nd victory at Monmouth Park

Long On Value’s first winner of two races this year is Devil’s Only Friend, a 3-year-old gelding bred by Bulldog Racing who went wire-to-wire at Monmouth Park in his fifth career start.

The $35,000 OBS March 2-year-old jumped into the lead at the break in the race at “about” 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf, and continued on under Paco Lopez to score by two lengths in 1:05.13. Devil’s Only Friend had broken his maiden in his debut at Gulfstream Park earlier in the season. This one was worth $14,400 and raised his total to $45,450; he was claimed out of the race for $16,000.
