Pocono: Horses to watch from Nov. 12 - Nov. 15
Saturday, November 12
STORM IS RAGING (NW21000) rallied uncovered and won going away in last and would be no surprise if he repeats.
THE MOONSHADOW N (CLMHCP30/40000) rallied well at 23-1 to nail second and just miss the gold.
CRUNCH HANOVER (NW20000) was second over to slow-moving cover in last. Finished well and could get luckier in next.
BRAVO TEX N (CLMHC30/40000) just sat around checking out the surroundings at 45-1 in last but could show more interest in next race or two.
Monday, November 14
DERECHO (NW2600) went to the top, yielded and was shuffled, pulled uncovered, tucked the pocket to the odds-on favorite. Rallied late but was second best at 18-1.
FOXY FIJI (NW6000M) was parked to the lead and pressed immediately, resisted to the lane but tired. Should nail a win with a less torturous journey.
VEL DONNA (NW6000M) went to the lead, yielded, tried to retake but was parked, battled with the top one and held well enough before getting nailed to earn a long look.
TOP LEADER S (NW1) was super victorious in wire to wire jogburger in latest.
JAGEN H'GHAR (NW4) beaten favorite was wide and late just missing in the photo. Second just-miss in a row and gets one more chance.
Tuesday, November 15
SOMEWHERENBROOKLN N (CLMHCP75/10000) set a pressed pace at nearly 30-1 proved second best to the tripped-out pocket-sitting winner.
ALWAYS ROCKIN (NW6600) was parked the mile, challenged and tired. Beaten favorite could atone with better trip.
CIRCUIT PARTY (NW2) went to the top, yielded, got shuffled, rallied late and earns a look in next.
LATEST ATTRACTION (NW5) was parked the mile, challenged to the end in game effort.
HUNTING AS (NW10500) beaten favorite was to the rear, rallied wide and wider in the final turn and closed well for second place but it was too far to come.
