Pocono: Horses to watch from September 24-27
Saturday, September 24
BIG CHIC MAGNET (W4-7) was parked the mile, rated to the half, rallied to the third call, challenged and dug in but tired. Beaten favorite would be no surprise in next.
BEVANS CULLEN N (CLMHCP15/17500) wheeled off the rail the final turn, swung 4 wide with strong finish but had too far to come.
HOT DEUCE (CLMHCP30/40000) sat pocket and was a strong winner in latest. Prior was a strong-closing second-place finish and should not be ignored in next.
EUROBOND (NW12000) impressive prohibitive front-stepping winner romped despite a long grind to the lead and good fractions.
Monday, September 26
COWBOY COOL (NW4) closed well to get up for second on a night when the leaders and pocket sitters did most of the damage.
LETS GET ROCKED (NW1) beaten favorite finished full of pace from third over and can atone with better trip.
TONY TOO TALL (NW6000) yielded, retook and was a handy front-stepping winner.
ABBY ROSE (NW6900M) was wide a long way in the final turn and flattened into the lane.
Tuesday, September 27
SUNDANCEDIAMOND (NW6000) tucked twice, sat pocket heading home, rallied again and nailed it in solid three-move score.
ARCHIBALD (NW9700) raced second over the final quarter to the favorite, rallied gamely and just missed.
SECRET RULE (NW1) yielded, retook, set his own pace and was a handy winner.
BELIEVEINHESPIRIT (CLMHCP7500/10000) second choice went down the road in good effort but was nailed by the pocket-sitting favorite.
