FIRST RACE – 58 degrees; no wind to start… HIGH BALLER left and enjoyed a cushy pocket trip, outside in the stretch and zipped right by. FRISKIE ALL NITE was parked to the 1/8 for command, didn’t back things off much, no match for the winner but enough for second....

FIRST RACE – Seasonably nice in the mid-60s; stretch headwind … MAJOR BEAN pointed right to the front and got there past the 1/8 in a fast opener, rated the half, then sprinted off again down the backstretch, enough to hold off the pesky COXCOMB. The latter got a good...

FIRST RACE – Around 60 … Stretch headwind … PRO BEACH fought for the lead, was pushed by the pole horse who didn’t want a quarter-mover and thus winding up third, made the top at the ¼, rated the half, then reignited the jets quickly when the first-over came very fast...

FIRST RACE – Mid 50s; stretch tailwind … WAIMAC ATTACK N was four-wide to the first turn then fell in behind cover, left uncovered off the first turn to the lead 3/8, set the pace and dug in gamely late. MANNY pushed the ¼ and yielded, sat third-in, up the Pocono Pike...

FIRST RACE – Atypical stretch tailwind … MY WISH CAME TRUE showed some speed, yielded and gapped the next ¼ then closer, uncovered at the half, one-geared into the wind as the leader got away, but stayed to task and got to that one in the stretch. SILENT SPLENDOR was...

FIRST RACE – Cool; stretch headwind … STICK WITH ME KID took back early, moved uncovered before the 5/8 and challenged, had a small lead midturn when the pacesetter broke, went clear for a bit, then tired but did hold on. ARCHIBALD moved second-over behind the winner,...

FIRST RACE – Mid to upper 60s; stretch headwind … TONY TOO TALL made two speed moves in controlling the pace, drew away in the last 1/8 looking sharp. BIG BOSS HILL was between horses leaving and tucked third past the 1/8, shuffled some later on the turn and had to...

FIRST RACE – Coolish, and with a stretch headwind almost all the day, which explains where a lot of the winners came from (front and inside) except for the first race … COXCOMB was away seventh as many left, last at the half, was fourth-over down the back, then...

FIRST RACE – SAY YOU DO spotted third, then moved before the parked horse could go up, took over command nearing the 3/8 and set a fast pace stringing these out, mildly-roused late to keep NICE STUFF at bay. The latter left and put a foe in behind, yielded to the...

FIRST RACE – The day started off relatively pleasant, with a moderate stretch headwind; by race five the wind had picked up quite a bit, and then rain came, changing the “fast +0” rating of the first five contests to “sloppy +1” for the rest of the day … TEMPURA...
