Pocono: Horses to watch from July 7 - July 12

Tuesday, July 7

FASHION CREDITOR (NW3/3-4YO) tucked early, pulled past the quarter, brushed to the top, battled the odds-on favorite the last three-eighths and was second best both on the track and on the board. Should find his own field soon.

EL PESCADORO (NW1/3-4HYO) left to the top, yielded but was shuffled when the winner brushed, slipped out heading home and closed strongly but the prohibitive favorite was gone.

WELLWESAID (NW3/3-4YO) was in the pocket raging with pace and held hard but never had a chance to show his stuff as he broke heading home.

CINNABAR HALL (NW2/3-4YO) was moving in the final turn and was wiped out by a breaker losing any chance to pick up a piece of the pie.

Wednesday, July 8

LOUNGE ACT (NW8500M) closed with good pace but the winner was too tough and too gone.

SILVERHILL VOLO (NW5) chased the winner home with good trot and was second best.

SCHALOM G (NW14500) tested the prohibitive winning favorite in last and weakened. Should find own field sooner than later.

GO FOR SAND (CLMHCP125/15000M) challenged the speedy favorite in the middle half before weakening. Do not ignore in next race or two.

Friday, July 10

ALWAYS WANNA (CLM11000) set the pace under early pressure and was outkicked in the lane. Beaten favorite can atone for this right away.

UNFRONTSTRIKESGOLD (NW3000) rolled along setting the clip under pressure, dug in gamely but was nipped by the fresher pocket-sitting second favorite.

GI PHOTO VICTORY (CLMHCP7500/10000) was parked the mile, challenged to the lane and tired but did not go away holding tough for third.

FOUR STARZ CREDIT (CLMHCP125/15000) left, tucked, pulled to the half, launched a determined challenge, ducked inside heading home and took another shot but could not get there. Such game efforts win more a fair share of races.

Saturday, July 11

FLY AWAY (CLM10000) came uncovered, challenged the pacesetting favorite and was second best.

BLUE FIN (CLM12500) pacesetter proved to be gamest battling a long way with the uncovered challenging favorite.

IDEAL CANDIDATE (CLM15000) put in a solid wire to wire effort in last getting nailed on the wire by the fresher pocksitting odds-on winner.

ROCKSTAR STRIDE (NW9000) finished strongest charging high, wide and handsome but had too far to come.

Sunday, July 12

DEMONS N DIAMONDS (NW1FM) went down the road, proved to be an easy winner as the prohibitive favorite and should be tough to beat next race or two.

MARIAH DANCER (NW1FM) went down the road and held with autority. She should be a major factor for a few more outings.

SAMS TREASURE (NW3200) left,tucked, pulled second over, followed the winner and was second best at 70-1.

APRIL ROSE (NW2/3-4YOFM) put in a game uncovered effort in last and seemed to have it to herself when the winner came fast on the outside to nail it on the wire.

KITTI PLACE (NW3000M) finished full of pace to miss a neck in last and has to be respected.
