Pocono: Horses to watch from Sept. 2 - Sept. 6

Saturday, September 2

CAPTAIN ROMANCE (NW9500) scorched the oval in very fast mile and can beat better with similar effort.

AMIGO VOLO (OPEN) trotter brushed the final quarter and crushed foes to win going away.

EXECUTIVE GAME (PaSS) won from second over to score 5th in a row. Winners keep winning and are worth a look until they don't.

SLIP SLIDING AWAY (PaSS) was parked to the lead, put in a very solid wire to wire effort but was nosed on the wire by the late-closing odds-on favorite.

MY GIRL EJ (PaSS) tucked to the quarter, pulled past the half, challenged the pacesetting odds-on favorite but was a game second at 17-1.

Monday, September 4

ANGELS LEGACY (NW2/2YOF) closed strongest from second over to win her debut and can take another.

CAPTAIN N TEQUILA (NW2/2-3YO) took the lead, yielded, sat pocket, rallied gamely but just missed to the front-stepping odds-on favorite.

THE GREAT CB (NW1FM) tucked, let the speed settle, brushed to command and put away the field impressively to score maiden win.

BLUEBIRD BISHOP (NW6400) won from off the pace two back and scored on the front end this time out.

Tuesday, September 5

SHOWMEYOURGUNS (CLMHCP17500/20000) challenged the pace, put away the leader, got outkicked by the pocket-sitting winner while holding gamely to second when challenged late.

AWESOMENESS (CLMHCP125/15000) had to wheel wide into the lane, closed well and bears watching.

SALDANA HANOVER (W1-3FM) rallied wide around tiring cover and finished with good pace to earn 2nd place at 14-1.

WAL STREET LADY (NW2FM) finished full of trot from third over to just miss in last effort.

LADYS IMAGE (CLMHCP25/30000) tucked, tipped into traffic in the lane, angled out and closed with good energy.

Wednesday, September 6

VEGAS TICKET (CLMHCP 17500/20000) sat to the final turn, slipped out, finished with good trot in first race of the year.

FUN MUNKY (NW1) tucked, sat pocket to the prohibitive favorite second best at every call at odds of 72-1.

STOCKHOLM HANOVER (NW1) shipped in off an off the pace win and tried the first end in here to score handily for second straight score.

FULL SUPPORT (NW2800) dropped and popped in handy front-end score. Might be able to step up and win again.
