Pocono: Horses to watch from August 23 - August 26

Saturday, August 23

AGEDCHEDAR HANOVER (NW6400) trailed to the lane, wheeled wide, closed well at 40-1 but got nailed by the late rush of the prohibitive favorite.

TWIN B THRILLER (NW2/2YO) went down the road at a good clip and was wrapped up through the lane scoring his third win in a row.

KIERKEGAARD K (W5-8) second best on the board and was second best at every call to the odds-on favorite.

RIFLEMAN (NW10500) finished best at 10-1 from third over but just missed and should be a strong possibility in next.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN (CLM2500) was parked the mile, challenged the last 3/8's but tired. A better trip should yield a better result.

Monday, August 25

PENNY BENJAMIN (NW1FM) won on the front end and will be seeking third straight in next.

RUN RUN ELEGANT (CLMHCP125/15000) left to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, tipped in the final turn, rallied wide but just missed. Beaten favorite should get it done in next.

CANT SAY NO (CLMHCP125/15000) sat to the rear, rallied wide and finished like a house on fire at 67-1 in last to be second best and should gain a score soon.

JUST THE FACTS (NW2800) tipped in the final turn, rallied strong and just missed the pacesetting odds-on favorite in latest trip around the oval.

KASEVILLE (NW1500) second favorite with a very well-matched field just missed the lukewarm pacesetting winning favorite in good try and deserves a look.

RUSTY BEACH (NW4) was parked the mile, challenged to the half, weakened but kept grinding away on the rim before giving up the chase by head stretch. All of this excitement at 65-1. Should not be overlooked.

TWIN B EMPRESS (NW3500M) gapped the great cover of her stablemate (Twin B Sunkissed) but finished best of all to just miss. Who knows which 'Twin' it will 'B' in next?

Tuesday, August 26

MS BOJANGLES (NW2/2YOF) was challenged twice along the way and was a handy winner deserving of a long look in next.

CHEF ROCCO (NW9500) was buried on the rail, cleared and finished full of trot to get up for second place and would be no surprise.

AMILYN HOLDO (NW2) closed well along the rail but was nailed late by the closing favorite.

JUSTASEC N (NW4400) got away well, tucked, pulled past the half, challenged the odds-on favorite to the last steps but was second best.

SOUTHWIND ARTURO (NW9500) was buried to the stretch, closed well to earn a long look in next.
