Feeling You overpowered the Open pacing mares to score a victory at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Tuesday night. The race carried the night’s top purse of 450,000.
Leaving from the inside post in a field of seven, Feeling You (Cambest-Ripreza Hanover), trained by Amber Buter and driven by Tyler Buter, gunned to the lead on the front stretch and was never headed from there, winning by 1 ¾ lengths. Owned by Tyler Buter, Gallicchio Racing Stable, and Cannella, the 5-year-old mare paced the mile in 1:49:3, a new career mark and just a fifth of a second off the Pocono aged mares track record. Ticket To Rock finished second and Breakheart Pass picked up the show.
Earlier in the night, Detour Hanover (Andover Hall-D Train), an expensive purchase as a yearling, won in his racing debut over a field of 2-year-old maiden trotters. Owned by John Cancelliere and trained by Tom Cancelliere, the colt was driven to victory by David Miller in 1:58.
