Pocono: Horses to watch from July 11th - July 14th

Saturday, July 11

STATESIDELCKDWN GB(NW15500) took the lead, yielded, got shuffled the final turn when the leader gave way, showed some good speed in late finish and barn always deserves a look.
SUGAR MAN (W6-8) tucked early, brushed the final turn, whizzed by the exhausted leader and winning time just missed the track mark.
DAVID SEAMAN S (NW6) rolled along on the front end, met pressure the last panel but drew off easily and should take another.
R ZEE (NW4) was third over the final turn with good finish and a better trip could be enough.
RUTHLESS HANOVER (WO25000) scorched the track in fast pace and got nailed by the pocket sitting prohibitive favorite who gets credit for matching the track record. 
STONEBRIDGE REX (CLMHCP20/25000) brushed to the third call, took over and buried the field in dominant romp.
BOOM N (NW11500) beaten favorite was stung vying for the lead, finally cleared the determined leader, dug in but was nailed by the late-closing board-busting longshot winner. Beaten favorite should atone.

Sunday, July 12

KOUNTRY PLUNGE (2YOF) odds-on favorite set a good clip and held off the late bid of the pocket sitting well-bet second choice to earn her picture.
SECRET LOVER (2YOF) was the well-bet second choice who was second best at every call in speedy mile. 
CAPTIVATED (CLMHCP75/10000) set a good clip and was a handy winner in last and can take another with similar effort.
TRS MASERATI JOE (NW5500) took the lead, yielded and was shuffled, came uncovered the final quarter and just missed nailing the pacesetting prohibitive favorite.

Monday, July 13

LENNA (W3-6FM) was second over to tiring cover, rallied wide, finished well at 90-1 to be third and bears watching.
NORDIC CATCHER S (WO25000) well bet second choice took the lead, yielded to the odds-on favorite and proved best in the lane.
DAME GOOD TIME (WO25000) was parked and stung early to the lead, set a good clip and was second best to the top one and bears watching. 
ALWAYS BE CITY (CLMHCP75/10000M) was stung to the lead, yielded for the pocket, tipped passing the three-quarters, challenged and won going away for the impressive win.
ILL PLAY IT ALONE (CLM10000) brushed three-wide, challenged and won as easily as anticipated and will take another.
OH COFFEE BEAN (CLM12500) pulled at 59-1 and brushed up uncovered, challenged the pacesetting odds-on favorite to the last step but was a neck short in dead-game effort.
VALI HANOVER (CLM125000) popped the pocket, won by 10 and got claimed. When you claim a horse who crushed the field that easily, you should be looking forward to next start.

Tuesday, July 14

RUN RUN ELEGANT (CLM15000) tucked early, raced second-over the last quarter, closed strong and won going away. Got claimed and should come out firing.
FABULOUS FREDDIE (CLM12500) was parked the mile, grinded all the way and tired. Well-bet second choice got claimed and a better trip might make the difference in next.
PATTYS GIRL (PaStars) yielded twice, rallied a third time and nailed over the leading prohibitive favorite to earn the barn one of the two wins in the four divisions. It was also the 4th of 5 straight wins for driver Tyler Buter.
TWO DAY HANGOVER (PaStars) avoided bad trouble by early breaker, grabbed the lead past the quarter. Went down the road once on the front end. She put away a last-quarter challenger in the fastest of the divisions and the second win in the four divisions recorded by the barn.
CARDS A FLYIN (CLM7500) yielded, retook and drew off to win impressively. Got claimed and should be hard to overhaul.
