Pocono: Horses to watch from Apr. 29 - May 2

Saturday, April 29

ANDY RAY (NW12000) pulled to the half, went around poor cover, rushed to the leader, challenged and rolled by strongly.

ROCKEN CAMNATION (CLMHCP10/12500) pulled passing the half, had to go wide clearing breaker, took some steps, broke, settled and closed with good pace but had lost best chance.

BRICKMAN (CLM25000) was loooped to the top, parked to the lead, set a pressed pace to the lane, drew off when asked and humbled his foes.

SOMETHINGINTHEWIND (NW9300) took a tuck into the turn, pulled as the speed settled, rushed up, challenged, loomed in the lane but was not able to hold off the late kick of the tripped-out second-over winner.

Sunday, April 30

MCSINNER MAN (NW5) had absolutely horrid racing luck in last and was three wide a very long way and will be better with some good fortune.

AIGHT HANOVER (NW1FM) overcame an early break to win going away and will take another.

LIBERTARIAN (NW5) left, tucked, pulled, rushed to the lead and waved good bye in impressive score.

RAP IT UP (NW1) closed well at 25-1 on a night when speed ruled.

Monday, May 1

SEA ROSE (CLMHCP15/20000M) rallied late from second over and will show more in due time.

LEET HANOVER (NW2FM) went down the road to the late stages and was nailed by the pocket sitter.

JESSICA LAR BAR (CLMHCP10/12500) came wide and finish full of trot to be second best.

AMERICANGIRLFRIEND (CLMHCP10/12500M) tucked early, pulled uncovered to the half, challenged, dug in gamely but was outkicked by the two favorites.

Tuesday, May 2

PERFECT SPIRIT (NW3) went to the front in his first start of the year and won easily as the favorite broke. Should be even better in next.

ABBIJADE HANOVER (NW17500M) raced uncovered and was second best to the pacesetting favoritee.

MUSCLES ON FIRE (WEISS) was out to the third panel, forced wide by a breaker and stuck deep when another foe pulled, rallied well but had lost the needed steps to beat the tripped-out winner.

OUT OF LUCK (NW3FM) closed strongly and gamely to win from second over on a night when front end horses were winning almost everything.
