Pocono: Horses to watch from November 9 - November 12
Saturday, November 9
DOWN ON MAINSTREET (NW3000) broke at the start, settled back. rallied to the third panel and 4 wide clearing traffic, was forced to stay 3 wide the final turn, rallied gamely but just missed. Beaten favorite would be no surprise.
MASSIVE OPULENCE (NW6000) sat pocket to the final turn, tipped, won going away to score second straight and three is a distinct possibility.
ALL ON BLACK (NW3000) was on the lead but a runaway was setting off the teletimer. Met pressure the final quarter. Got nailed on the wire but should not be ignored in next.
OUTKAST BLUE CHIP (CLMHCP20/25000) rallied wide and late from an impossible place and bears watching.
MAJOR OFFENSE (NW9100) rallied best but too late from third over and should not be overlooked.
Tuesday, November 12
C O TO BLUEGRASS (NW6000) was parked a long way uncovered, challenged to the lane and tired.
MOOSEMADNESS (NW3000) was parked the mile with cover, game wide move the final turn and finished gamely but was second best to the tripped-out pocket horse.
JULA TRIX TREASURE (NWW2) was the victim of a horror trip having to to three wide coming to the half to clear a traffic jam, cleared to uncovered and challenged to the last steps.
DJOKOVIC N (NW3000) broke at the start, settled and was parked, rallied up uncovered, pressed the favorite's pace to the stretch and tired.
