Pocono: Horses to watch from May 19 - May 22

Saturday, May 19

JK HEAVEN SENT (CLMHCP20/25000) rolled wide from far back in the final turn but flattened out heading home. A better timed move can get him home.

MAXDADDY BLUE CHIP (GRTNEOPEN) came wide the final turn and rallied gamely to just miss in three-horse photo.

BETTORS EDGE (GRTNEOPEN) closed a ton from third over and ran out of track.

BETTORS WISDOM (NW6000) tucked to the quarter, slipped out, swung wide fninished with a flurry.

SOME PLAYA (NW9000) showed good rally at 40-1 from second over and will find a spot soon.

Sunday, May 20

MINK PINK (NW1FM) tucked early, pulled as the speed settled, rushed to the top, met mild pressure but was an impressive winner and can take another.

WAGON MASTER (NW6000) second favorite was parked to the lead, met pressure and gutted out second best to the favorite.

BARON CHANCEY (NW1) left, tucked, brushed, yielded, sat pocket and gamely rallied but was outkicked. Usually three moves is enough to gain a win.

SOUTHWIND MONTY (NW3000) well-bet second choice sat pocket but was second best to the odds-on pacesetting winner in last.

Monday, May 21

IDLE BONES N (CLMHCP10/12500) left, broke, took to the back, rallied from the third over and finished strong to just miss.

SHOW ME THE MAGIC (NW2) left, tucked, sat in,closed gamely inside to get up for 2nd.

ROCK POWER (NW3000) sat in, tipped in the final turn and closed strongly but too late.

HILLBILLY JET (CLMHCP75/10000M) closed strongly at 16-1 in last and earns a long look in next.

Tuesday, May 22

BELA GLOS (STALLION) brushed and crushed in her division of the Stallion Series without a care in the world.

AMERICAN INFLUENCE (NW4) sat in, cleared late and closed well. He was quite willing but his co-favorite had gotten away from him.

LIFE STRIKES (NW9000) was quite handy through the lane while wiring the field as the well bet second favorite. She should have more success.

HEY LIVVY (STALLION) went down the road as far as she could in first start of year, faced pressure the last quarter and tired. She will get tighter and she will win a race or two.
