Pocono: Horses to watch from August 15 - August 18, 2026

Saturday, August 15

STAG PARTY (CLMHCP25/30000) veteran went to the lead, went down the road and was a handy winner. Got claimed and should give it another try.

THE BOSS SAID (CLM15000) was uncovered and second best at 14-1 to the tripped-out three-straight winning favorite.

ALTA BLUES A (CLM20000) was parked to the lead, yielded for the pocket, had aim but was nailed by the late rush of the winner. Got claimed and will be trying to break his second-place streak.

ESCAPE TO AMERICA (NW2100) closed well from third over at 32-1 and should not be overlooked.

MAGNUS VICTOR A (NW11500) was second over behind poor cover, came wide and closed with good pace in first stateside start.

SOLID CHARACTER (NW2601) brushed, went down the road a handy winner in quick time and can take another.

Monday, August 17

ORINOCO (PaSS) wired the field in the quickest of the two divisions.

IMAGINE HEAVEN (NW5500M) followed wide from 4th over and just missed by a neck and earns a long look in next.

TWO DAY HANOVER (PaSS) is 3-for-3 in blossoming career and was will be the one to beat in her next effort.

PINK LUMIERE (CLMHCP75/10000M) sat pocket, rolled by for her 4th straight win and was claimed--again.

SAINTHOOD (NW12500) closed well from third over and bears watching next time around the oval.

CAESARMONI HANOVER (2YO) destroyed field in five-length romp in last and should get some more.

MASSIVE CUE (NW1) put in a good down the road effort at 6-1 in breaker shortened field but headed on the wire.

FRANCO (CLM7500) rallied gamely up the cones to be second in 4-horse photo at odds of 68-1 and should be a force to be reckoned with.
