Pocono: Horses to watch from Sept. 22 - Sept. 26

Tuesday, September 22

MARTY DE VIE (NW1/2YO) put in a strong last three-eighths, rallied in the final turn, swung wide entering the stretdch with good finish but had too far to come.

EXTRACURRICULAR (NW8500) tucked early, pulled to the third panel, went wide and powered home to win going away.

CANTABS FORTUNE (NW6000) took a lead, yielded, retook and waved goodbye.

ROCKAHOLIC (NW6000) came wide from 4th over to finish well but much too late on a night when speed ruled.

Wednesday, September 23

WENDYS GIRL (NW1/2YOF) left, tucked, brushed, won impressively and can take another.

MY WAY THE HIGHWAY (NW1FM) won by ten and should win by at least nine in next.

KASCARA ROSA (NW13000) was parked all the way, challenged to the third panel and tired. Should improve in next.

SOUTHWIND TRINI (NW13000M) was parked with cover and tired. Well bet second choice could be tighter in next.

Friday, September 25

SOAPY SAP (NW3000) was buried behind a dead one, found room, rallied with solid finish.

HASTY PROFFITT (NW3000) was a going away three-move odds on winner in last and should be able to continue winning.

COLUMBIA LION (CLM11000) left, tucked, pulled uncovered, challenged the odds on favorite and tired. A better trip should be enough to get him over the top.

TAP INTO POWER (NW1/2YO) went down the road and was impressive with Pavia in the bike.

RACER X (CLMHCP12500/15000) was parked the mile, challenged a long way and tired. Beaten favorite will find redemption soon.

Saturday, September 26

AMERICHI (NW8750) finished with a full head of steam and just missed. Has what it takes so look close in next.

STRAIGHTTALKXPRESS (CLMHCP125/15000) saved and closed strongly. Look for more involvement earlier in next outing.

I DO HANOVER (CLM10000) came uncovered, challenged the pacesetting favorite and was second best.

R GAUWITZ HANOVER (CLMHCP20/25000) odds-on favorite did not disappoint and closed strong to win going away; can take another.
