Will be posting race by race, with analysis, as much as possible. Feel free to jump in. Good Luck.
Race 1
7 THEY TOOK THE BAR
Drops in class here, after some consistent races of 1:56-1:57. Best closer in the field, gained 5 lengths in the last 1/4 last out. If driven correctly, will win against this weak field.

Race 2
1 CANNAE ROCKY
Was bet to 7-1 at this class in last, from the 5 hole. Record mark this year is a 1:55 flat, back on April 25th. The miles have been around a 1:53 the last 2 races, finishing ITM in both at this class. The favorite, 4 RAPID CENTURIAN, was favorite in that race last out. Although, has never pressed a pace the 1 can set, and broke stride last out, pressing 1's pace. Not sure what is going to happen here. 4 Will be favorite.

Race 3
1 SIR SIRO
Tom Jackson drives, as the Gelding draws the rail in this WEAK NW1 Field. Closed a good 4 lengths in the stretch in last, on the slop. Miles before that have been a consistent 2:00. Looks to be only logical contender.

Race 4
5 CAMS LUCKY CHARM
Morrill keeps the drive. He has driven this mare to 2 Wins, and 1 Place in 3 starts. Gets firing lane, 5 hole here. Won from the 7 in last, Closing in 29, after a very fast pace of the race in 26.3, 55.2. Will be at short odds, but should be as close to a lock as can get.
$10 WIN on :5: CAMS LUCKY CHARM

Race 5
5 A REAL LASER
Have a hunch here. Claimed in last by a VERY hot barn, makes 1st start, and back with Pavia who drove him to a blazing 1:56.4 and 1:57.1 in 2 starts over a month ago. Only horse that can close against the likely :57 half mile, the 5 will set, is the 1 STREETWISE HALL. A lot to like, but we will slow bet, as the barn may want a ride before firing.

Race 6
2 EBONY ISLE
Tioga Downs shipper, draws the 2 hole here. Has shown she can make 1 great move, and believe thats what it will take here. Fairly weak field here, with favorite 5, who will probably go off at below even odds. We will play a Place bet here only.

Race 7
6 COPPER MOGUL
Another Weak NW1 field. First Lifetime start in last, finished in 2:00.1. Finished very well the last 1/4, making up some ground. Draws middle of track here, which may help. Not much in the way of SOLID horses here, so we will play this and possibly get over 7-1 odds.

1 More for the evening.
Race 8
5 SIDEREAL HANOVER
Parked 1st 1/4 in last. Parker gets the Catch-Drive here. He has been able to finish the mile in 1:54. Form is VERY good leading up to last, and the 8th place, may help the odds here. Has been on slop last 2. Looks like a good spot, and Parker is reliable. 7/2 M/L, lets hope for 3-1 or better.

What do you call a horseplayer that insists on betting superfectas at POCONO DOWNS without a substantial rebate? Before you answer, check this track's takeout on superfectas....AN OUTRAGEOUS AND SHAMEFUL 35 %! Now you can go ahead and answer the question...I suspect some of the answers will be insulting :lol:

I live 2 hrs from Pocono Downs, and refuse to go travel there for that very reason. The Track's takeout is very insulting and demanding. If I bet the track, it is done from home, or from the local Harness Track.

--Forest Gump's motherForget about the high takeout and lack of rebates, they don't even have dime superfecta's. That alone is a reason not to play it. Of course if they did I would play regardless.
