Pocono: Horses to watch from October 19 - October 22

Saturday, October 19

HAMMERING HANK (NW6400) sat last, rallied fast up the rail to earn second at the wire.

YO BETH D (NW20000) trotter finished wide from the back of the pack passing a bunch of foes and will find a win soon.

OAKWOOD PADDY IR (NW9600) came uncovered, challenged, took the lead and was an impressive speedy winner.

CHEFF ROCCO (W4-7) was parked the mile, challenged the odds-on favorite before giving way heading home.

JK BLACK GOLD (NW12500) sat last to the lane, flashed some good late pace up the rail and bears watching.

JIM BLUE (20CLM) sat last but showed some late life. Call it a hunch but there could be some green in a race or two.

Monday, October 21

MISTER BOINGA (NW4400) was second over but gapping, hit stride late and finished with good trot.

SHE SHAQ (SIMPSON) came uncovered and won going away. Should be tough again in next but won't be 10-1.

UPALLNIGHT HANOVER (SIMPSON) stablemate of the above was bet lower but did not fare as well. Did gap stablemate's cover. Do not overlook.

DUCKIES DYNASTY (CLM7500) followed wide from the back with strong finish to earn second place and bears watching.

SWAN FAITH (NW1FM) tucked early, came uncovered and won going away as the odds-on favorite.

Tuesday, October 22

GEORGE MARTIN (NW4400M) sat in, got shuffled badly, rallied late and was up for third at 60-1.

BULLVILLE WINNER (CLM15/17500) sat in, showed some late life along the rail and could surprise in next.

CHOCO CHARLIE (NW4400M) race uncovered the final quarter and was good for second place to the tripped-out winner.

DEFIANT LADY (CLM5/17500) followed wide the final turn and closed well to earn a third place check in last at 68-1.

PARKAVENUELISA (SIMPSON) was second over the final turn with good rally and just missed.

PRESSURE COOKER (SIMPSON) wired the field in her division and will be hard to deny.
