Pocono: Horses to watch from June 29 - July 2
Saturday, June 29
ROCK THE TOWN (CLMHCP30/40000) left into a fast quarter and took a tuck, rallied gamely up the rail but was outkicked. Beaten favorite can atone in next.
SLIPIN SKIP (CLMHCP30/40000) very well-bet second choice tucked early, got shuffled, brushed to the top, got away a bit but tired late and was nailed on the wire by the favorite.
JEREMES GENERAL (CLMHCP30/40000) rushed to the top, yielded, retook and was absolutely murdered on the front end getting pressed to the max, finally yielded heading home to a wide brushing monster and tired. Deserves some respect and a look in next race or two.
SOMETIMESAWINNER (CLMHCP30/40000) making a big brush like this one did usuallymakesyouawinner and he did just that pulling away in a romp.
Sunday, June 30
KARETS (NW17500) took a seat into the first turn, got shuffled when the lead changed, tipped heading home with game rally but the pocket sitting favorite had the jump.

MAX (NW7) broke at the start, settled at the back of the back, rallied back the last quarter and finished well between horses.
DANCIN HILL (CLMHCP15/20000) took the top, set the pace meeting stern pressure twice and tired.
Monday, July 1

DARK FORCE (NW9800M) went to the top as the second choice, yielded to the odds-on favorite, rallied gamely to miss by a neck.
LOVIN MISS DAISY N (NW12000M) left, tucked, sat comfy and edged by in the lane for first US victory and will take some more.
