Feeling You outpaced Androvette in a showdown between two of racing’s best aged pacing mares, winning Friday night’s featured Preferred Handicap pace at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in the process. The race carried a purse of $25,000.
Leaving from post position #5 in a field of seven as the 4-5 favorite, Feeling You (Cambest-Ripreza Hanover), a 6-year-old mare who is the pride of the Amber Buter barn, grabbed the lead early for driver Tyler Buter. From the half-mile on she was challenged first-over by top division rival Anndrovette. The two mares staged a mini-preview of the Breeders Crown action coming up at Pocono in the coming weeks, dueling in the stretch with Feeling You prevailing by a head in 1:50. Fashion Mystery finished further back in 3rd.
Feeling You, owned by Stephen Oldford, Oldford Farms LLC, and Tyler Buter, won for the 10th time in 22 races this year. The victory was the 34th of her career and pushed her lifetime earnings to $954,096.

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.
