Pocono: Horses to watch from Oct. 17 - Oct. 20

Saturday, October 17

HEYTHERBARTENDER (W6-8) was out the final turn with slow-moving cover, went wide and closed well to just miss the tripped-out pocket sitting favorite.

THE BOSS SAID (CLMHCP20/25000) was buried on the rail behind a fast-fading foe, got shuffled to last, tipped the final turn and closed with pace to pass a few and should not be overlooked.

COMBATIVE (CLM2500/3-5YO) trailed to the final turn, tipped, rallied 4-wide with good finish and would be no surprise.

GRAND CAYMAN (NW12000) was third over and flashed some good late speed to just miss on the wire.

HONEY ROLL (SIMPSON) the 2yo filly challenged, took over and was a handy, speedy winner in the second of the two filly divisions.

BE DAZZLED LOU A (NW8700) tucked early, pulled uncovered, challenged and was best for third in a row.

Monday, October 19

CAPTAIN CATCH (CLMHCP75/10000M) nearly got the win in a game 81-1 second place finish in last.

IRIS SEELSTER (CLMHCP75/10000M) well-bet second choice rallied second over, closed well and just missed the favorite in solid effort.

SUNBURNT (CLM15000M) morning line favorite challenged the last quarter and gamed out the win at over 7-1. Got claimed and will be in the hunt next time out.

RIVER RANCH MAC (SIMPSON) was parked to the lead, yielded the final turn, rallied back and just missed. Beaten favorite can atone.

SCUDO HANOVER (NW11500M) parked to the third panel, took over and drew off much the best winning again.
