WILKES-BARRE PA – The co-featured $11,200 trots at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono Tuesday afternoon both resulted in 1:53.4 clockings, so we will defer to seniority in listing the winners’ accomplishments.
14-year-old TSM Photo Bugger made the lead, yielded for the pocket to sit behind a hot pace (:28, :56, 1:24), then came out in the stretch to catch odds-on pacesetter MacMorris Hanover by a neck. It was the 61st career victory for the S J’s Photo gelding, a winner of $868,681, who was driven by Fern Paquet Jr. for trainer Karen Fread and owner Theodore Tomson.

In the other section, Kevin Wallis was able to keep the Donato Hanover gelding Just Maybe The One’s mind to business, and the trotter responded with a three length victory over favored Blenheim after leading at every call. Tee Wine conditions the fast-but-flighty diamondgaiter for the family’s Wine Stable.
