Pocono: Max Hempt Memorial the highlight of Sun Stakes Saturday
The sophomore male class of pacers has been looking for a leader for much of the season. With the 2025 Horse of the Year Beau Jangles failing thus far to fulfill that role, others have stepped forward, holding the mantle just long enough before surrendering it. As we move towards the end of the summer battles, there appeared to be only one location left on the schedule that could bring together all the major components and pinpoint the leader. That notion came to fruition on Monday (August 17) when all the major sophomore stakes winners in 2026 entered the $300,000 Max Hempt Memorial, part of a huge 14-race Sun Stakes program at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.
