Pocono: Horses to watch from April 12 - April 15

Saturday, April 12

SPEED SNIP (CLM25000) blew wide around poor cover, cleared, challenged and won going away.

LITERL LAD HANOVER (CLM20000) was second over to fading cover, rallied wide and closed well. Got claimed and has earned a look in next.

PISCES RISING (W4-7) rallied wide from second over in good effort but nosed on the wire by the late-closing winner. Would be no surprise in next.

SWEET ODDS (WEISS) yielded, retook and drew off easily to win for fun in last.

ALLEGRA HANOVER (WEISS) sat pocket just waiting, made her move and was as easy a winner as the board said she was going to be.

Monday, April 14

ALWAYS BE NIMI (CLMHCP125/15000FM) was four wide most of the way to the quarter, took back, tucked, pulled soon and came uncovered, challenged to the third call and tired but stayed strong for third-place money.

DEARLY BELOVED (WEISS) jogged to open-length romp in her division.

ANNELIESE HANOVER (NW2800M) came uncovered, tucked into the lane, got back up when leader crumbled, rallied late to be second best at 17-1.

ADMIRING (WEISS) hit overdrive the final turn, motored to the lead and jogged home much the best as the board indicated she would be.

MY DEBT COLLECTER (NW4) had poor cover but finished with good pace. Well-bet second choice should not be ignored in next race or two.

WAY TOO SWEET (CLMHCP125/15000M) trailed, rallied wide, flattened out. She could be tighter or take a drop in price. Keep an eye on her.

GOLDEN COMPASS (CLAIMS) brushed early and humbled his foes in the first of 8 divisions on a day when front-steppers won half the races easily.

ALTUS HANOVER (CLAIMS) veteran trotter brushed early and crushed foes in his division of the 8 divisions.

WALLET (CLAIMS) pulled to the third call in his division and crushed his foes in quickest of the 8 divisions.
