Celtic Chaos nips unlucky Build to Suit in John Morrissey for red hot trainer Brad Cox

Celtic Chaos gave trainer Brad Cox his third stakes win in less than 24 hours after holding off a final surge from Build to Suit to register a heart stopping nose decision in the $100,000 John Morrissey Stakes. The John Morrissey was finally decided 10 days after it's originally scheduled date having been postponed due to adverse track conditions on August 25.  Celtic Chaos, a New York bred son of Dublin, had finished third in the 2018 John Morrissey.  Owned by Zilla Racing, he completed 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.45 under jockey Dylan Davis and paid $13.20.

Cox won a pair of stakes in similarly exciting fashion on Saturday, the Grade 1 Test with Covfefe at Saratoga and the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon several hours later at Del Mar with Beau Recall.
