Pocono: Horses to watch from Apr. 8 - Apr. 11

Saturday, April 8

GET TO DOIN IT (NW12500) suffered a bad trip in last and was four wide the last turn before flattening. A better trip can key the win for this one.

SKATES N PLATES (NW17500) was strong to the lead, set a good clip and tired over a track that wasn't the easiest for front-steppers.

BELIEVEINTHESPIRIT (NW6200) closed strong from 4th over in most recent and will be hard to beat with better trip.

NEXT SUCCESS (CLM25000) looked beaten when he broke at the start but closed a ton to get it done.

Sunday, April 9

WARRAWEE SUNSHINE (WEISS) made a brush to the lead going past the quarter, met pressure the final quarter, proved second best to the pocket-sitting prohibitive favorite.

DASH OF DANGER (WEISS) was on the lead passing the quarter, set a steady clip and was much the best in his division.

ULSHOOTUREYEOUTKID (CLM7500) trailed to the lane, tipped wide, closed strongest but had far to come.

DRIVING MISS CRAZY (NW3000) wired the field impressively in last and can take another.

Monday, April 19

DEB ON BROADWAY (NW3200) was wide early to clear poor cover, chased and challenged uncovred, gutted out a second to the tripped-out favorote and earns some respect.

EXPLOSIVE BROTHER (NW2) saved to the lane, tipped, came wide and charged home but the favorite had gotten away.

LINDYLICIOUS (NW5) left, tucked, swung out heading home with strong finish but just missed.

CATCH ALL (NW5) set the pace and held well for good win and should be hard to catch in next.

Tuesday, April 11

CINDER RITA (NW5FM) finished with good speed from second over to earn second to the prohibitive favorite.

LIVE ODDS (NW12000M) took an early lead, yielded and was shuffled. Looked like she had more to give in the lane but no room when needed.

PERSEVERANCE (WEISS) finished full of trot from nowhere in last at 84-1 and nearly got there over the odds-on favorite.

SUNRISE AVENUE (WEISS) won again and looked strong in front-stepping score.
