Pocono: Horses to watch from May 27 - May 30
Saturday, May 27
LONG LIVE ROCK (NW9200) went down the road, met token resistance the last quarter but proved best.
ADMIRAL (NW6000) was 4th over to the final turn, got badly blindswitched, angled out too late but finished willingly and earned a look in next.
CARMENS BEST (CLM10000) nearly wired the field at 10-1 but was nailed by the tripped-out odds-on pocketsitting favorite.
FASHION CREDITOR (NW18000) sat in getting buried in the last turn, cleared wide much too late but finished strongly to just miss at 9-1 and will be heard from.
Sunday, May 28
SURFACE TENSION (NW3000) rallied uncovered, came to the leader in the final turn, gamed out second place at 35-1 but the prohibitive pocketsitting favorite was too much.
ABBIES CELTICLASS (NW5FM) was nowhere to be seen in the final turn but hit stride heading home with a huge finish.
DON DREAM (NW5) came uncovered and won going away with enough left to take another race or two.
THE NEXT TRIUMPH (NW7) was parked a long way, found a pocket into the third panel and tired but would be tougher with better trip.
Monday, May 29
SOUTHWIND WARSAW (CLMHCP10/12500) was a well bet second choice, tucked early, let the speed settle, brushed to the lead, battled with the favorite and was second best. Should earn a win soon.
TIMMYLYNN (CLMHCP15/20000M) set a good clip on an open lead, tired and was necked on the wire by a streaking foe's 6th straight victory.
FASHION KATIE (CLMHCP10/12500M) was uncovered a long way, challenged and proved game while tiring. Beaten favorite need only get a better trip to take home the gold.
WINDSONGMUSCLELADY (CLMHCP15/20000) went to the front and wired the field in comfortable fashion in last.
LIFEIMITTATESART (CLM7500) won going away in return from a long layoff and will be hard to deny in next.
Tuesday, May 30
METEORIC (NW3) trotter yielded, retook and kissed them all goodbye in huge victory in a fast mile.
ABBIJADE HANOVER (NW9500M) followed wide into the final turn, tipped 4-wide and closed well.
FAMILY ROLL CALL (NW5FM) was out in the final turn and finished best from a tough spot.
ONC CLASS ACT (NW3FM) challnged uncovered a long way and was a respectable second best.
