Pocono: Horses to watch from June 4 - June 10

Wednesday, June 4

BELIEVE THIS BOB (NW10000) was parked early, found a seat, rallied inside the last quarter impoving postion, tipped heading home and rallied again in game second.

ALWAYS A ROMANCE (NW2/3-4YOFM) finsished strongly from back of the pack and has to be considered in next race or two.

SMOKIN N GRININ (CLM15000M) put in a game, stubborn try from the rail in latest going down the road but was unable to hold off the odds-on favorite.

ALLSTAR RATING (NW4FM/3-4YO) winning favorite made a strong wide move in the final turn and closed a ton on one of those Pocono nights when speed was holding. Should be able to nail another or two victories.

Saturday Afternoon, June 7

KEYSTONE THOMAS (NW4000) left no doubters with huge down the road victory in last and should step up easily.

DUNESIDE MIKE (NW2/3-4YO) was shuffled out in the final turn or so it seemed. Searched frantically early stretch, tipped wide, set down and roared home to nail the favorite on the line.

BIG IS BETTER (NW2/3-4YO) seemed to be gaming out an uncovered win between horses in last when nailed on the wire but a flying winner. Beaten favorite should atone.

Saturday Evening, June 7

NITESICANTREMEMBER (NW12500) left to the top, yielded, sat pocket and rallied gamely but came up a neck short.

MOVEOUTOFMYWAY (NW12500) left,tucked, got shuffled as the winner brushed, sat three holed, rallied late but it wasn't enough. Do not overlook in next.
