Pocono: Horses to watch from November 3 - November 6

Saturday, November 11

CRESURRY (NW3600) beaten favorite was in some traffic to the lane, edged out, set down and closed strong just missing in three-horse photo. Should bounce back with a win.

BBS HARLEY (CLM20000) second over to the lane, came wide, finished fast and just missed.

MAXDADDY BLUE CHIP (NW9100) roared wide passing the third panel and closed fast and game to nail it in the last step.

IM A BIG DEAL (NW18000) was parked to the lead, set a pressed pace and got nailed by the late-closing second-over favorite.

Sunday, November 11

WINNING SHADOW (NW6) was parked to the lead in first race back from short layoff, dug in gamely but was nipped by the second choice pocket-sitter. Beaten favorite should be tighter in next.

BEN ROCKIN (NW2) took the top, yielded, retook, put away a challenger by the third panel and drew away for maiden breaking win.

JACKIE NEWLANDS (NW2) tucked to the quarter, pulled past the hald, lost cover, continued to pursue and closed gamely but came up a neck short in the 4-horse photo.

NO DRAMA DE VIE (NW2) made a huge move in the final turn, closed strong on a night when speed ruled and earns a long look in next.

Tuesday, November 13

TONY CHEESECAKE (CLM7500) left, tucked, pulled, challenged to the lane and tired. A better trip should be enough.

LOVE FORBIDDEN (CLMHCPFM) rushed to the top, met some pressure to the third panel but drew off impressively.

MARION GONDOLIER (NW6300) raced second over with good late foot but was outkicked. Do not ignore in next outing.

SHUTTHEFRONTDOOR (NW10000FM) finished full of pace at 38-1 and just missed.
