Pocono: Horses to watch from April 11 - April 14

Saturday, April 11

HUNTHEHUNTR DE VIE (WEISS) was second over as cover collapsed, went wide, rallied strong and just missed in last.

HIRANVA N (NW6500) was far back into the lane, hit stride, closed a ton and just missed in 3-horse photo.

SOUTHWIND CELSIUS (NW6500) made a bold brush to the third call, took the lead, opened up but was nailed on the wire. Same move can take a win most times.

LOVENBURY (CLMHCP30/4000) went wide, closed strong and just missed in strong effort.

CAVIART CAMDEN (NW9500) went down the road to the final turn, met some pressure, responded when asked and held sway and would be no surprise in next.

Monday, April 13

IM THE PRINCE (CLM15000) had poor cover, rallied wide but had too far to come.

BEER CHEESE (CLM15000) grinded uncovered, rallied in the lane, ended up third in three-horse photo.

RUN RUN ELEGANT (CLM15000) made a costly break, settled, rallied well and just missed in the photo. Beaten favorite should atone in next race or two.

ANNELIESE HANOVER (CLMHCP75/10000M) yielded, retook and went down the road to the last steps in good effort over a tiring track. Got claimed and would be no surprise.

CAPTAIN VODKA (WEISS) was parked to the lead, met pressure the final turn but was a handy winner.

Tuesday, March 14

YOU GOT IT (NW3500) went down the road and was a handy winner from post 8. Will be hard to catch in next.

SMART N SASSY (CLM7500) second favorite was parked the mile, battled the pacesetting favorite, tired and bears watching in next.

ROSE RUN ZEKE (CLM15000) took the lead, yielded for the pocket, got shuffled passing the third call, slipped out in the final bend, rallied well but was second best. Beaten favorite got claimed and should be the one to beat.

RED HOT LAHOMA (WEISS) pacer was much the best in front-stepping romp in her division.

KINNDER THINKTWICE (NW6500) left, tucked, challenged the last quarter and won with confidence.
