Pocono: Horses to watch from July 26 - July 29

Saturday, July 26

RED RIGHTHANDED MAN N (NW4400) brushed to the third call to the lead but was nailed in the last step in a fast mile. Beaten favorite seeking atonement would be no surprise in next.

MR BLUEBIRD (W5-9) challenged the pace the last quarter but was second best. Will get a win in next race or two.

LOUS BEACH (NW2000) tucked early, followed the winner, lost the cover as the lead changed but dug in for second place and earns a look in next.

CONGRESSIONAL (NW17500) closed strongly from the back of the pack in latest but it was a step too late.

Sunday, July 27

BULLVILLE STEPHANE (CLM25000/3-5YO) was a very fast wire to wire winner in last and should take another....or two.

GLOBAL TWIST (NW1) earned his maiden win in a game uncovered effort in dead-game effort.

METAL MAN (CLMHCP20/25000) tucked early, rallied late and just missed the pacesetting winner. Will nail a win soon.

BELMONT MAJOR N (CLMHCP30/40000) tucked to the quarter, raced second over and closed well to just miss.

Monday, July 28

PEMBROKE SOUTHIE (NW7000M) wired the field for her second straight win and should give it another try in next.

CHAPVIOUS (NW4) second best on the board, tucked, sat pocket second best at every call and should not be ignored.

MANHATTAN PROJECT (NW5700M) sat pocket and rallied all out to gain the nod on the wire in first start of the year.

ROCKET DEO (WO25000M) brushed early to the lead and was a handy winner for second straight win.

DUBLIN HANOVER (NW2/2YO) went to the lead, met pressure the last quarter but held well and will be looking for another score.

Tuesday, July 29

PRIVATE SECTOR (MNW1) was parked the mile, challenged the last quarter and gutted out second to the tripped-out prohibitive favorite.

FAIRYTALE MOM (NW2/2YOF) was out the final turn with poor cover, came wide with good finish and should get a picture soon.

COUNTER SPY (NW2FM) went down the road a handy winner and should give it another try.

HOUDINI HANOVER (NW3) tucked, rallied late and with a little magic a win could come real soon.
