Four Starz Sisco Favored in $225,480 Berrys Creek

Four Starz Sisco is the 5-2 morning line favorite in Saturday night's $225,480 Berry's Creek for three-year-old pacers, the sixth race at the Meadowlands Saturday night.

"He has scary natural ability, pure ability," said Eric Ledford, who has sat behind the gelding in all but one start. "He's only started five times but has the kind of real speed you don't see often, hardly ever. Two weeks ago, in his fourth start, it was the first time that
he ever got over-aggressive out there."

Four Starz Sisco was gelded and turned out at two without racing.

"That helped him mature," said trainer Dave Sabatelli. "He was not into being a racing horse. He had his mind on everything else but that. He is all business right now. If anything, he is too much. He needs to learn to relax a bit."

The son of The Panderosa rewarded the patience of Sabatelli and owners Jeff Cohen and Mike Sudaley, who race as the Four Starzzzz Stables of Glenwood, New Jersey, winning his first four starts this year. The only mar on his record came in the $25,000 Berry's Creek
Prep. He finished eighth in the prep, which was won by Jenna's Choice. When Jenna's Choice emerged from that race with a stress fracture that will sideline him until the end of the year, the role of Berry's Creek favorite fell to Four Starz Sisco.
