THE MEADOWS

POCONO

7/1: 2w, no bias

6/30: 4w, no bias, but leavers dominated, with 8 pocket winners; tricky call, only one horse rallied to win off cover and that was a trotter in a five horse field, but it wasn’t that easy to go wire to wire…similar to Friday night, could go either way, either a mild speed bias or no bias

6/29: 4w, no bias, off track, leavers did well, five pocket winners, maybe it can be called a mild speed bias because it did appear difficult to rally from off the pace
