Pocono: Horses to watch from Apr. 1 - Apr. 4

Saturday, April 1

MARTY MONKHOUSER A (NW3000) closed well from 2nd over to tiring cover and earns a look in next.

V I P BAYAMA (NW3000) left, tucked, saved till ready, tipped, rallied to the tiring leader and blew by.

PHIL YOUR BOOTS (NW12000) closed strong from 4rd over and just missed at nearly 17-1.

DAVID THE SAINT (CLMHCP15/20000) was looped off the gate, parked to the lead, met determined pressure from the half to third panel, shook it off and that was that.

Sunday, April 2

THREEUPTHREEDOWN (NW4) followed wide in the final turn with a huge finish on a night when speed was holding really well.

MIGRATE BLUE CHIP (NW5) wired the field, shook off pressure and drew off for an impressive score.

DASHOF DANGER (WEISS) marked himself as one to beat in the series with an impressive three-move victory.

TOP DOLLAR (NW5) escaped a bad spot to the half, wheeled wide, closed a tone and won for fun.

Tuesday, April 4

WINNING PRINCESS (WEISS) left, tucked, pulled, followed the winner, tucked again, sat pocket to the lane, rallied a third time in game fashion but was second best.

LIVE ODDS (NW5FM) left to the top, sped up and away to the third panel and won for fun by about 10.

GIRLLOOKATTHATBOY (NW9000M) was out a long way behind poor cover, came wide, rallied well and just missed but the winner had gotten away. Beaten favorite should atone in quick order.

PERSUASIVE HANOVER (NW14000M) rolled home strongly and just missed at 44-1 and should be along in time in next race or two.
