WILKES-BARRE PA – Simon Says Hanover, in the Superfecta but winless in his third preliminaries of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, worked out as great trip in Monday’s $20,000 Series Championship in taking a 1:51.1 triumph over a track officially “sloppy” but perhaps closer to “wet-fast.”
 
Braxten Boyd used the excellent early speed of the Captaintreacherous gelding to push the sharp River Ness (two wins and a head loss in his prelims) before yielding before a :26.2 quarter and was content to ride in the golden chair behind midsplits of :55 and 1:23. No outer tier flow carried any other challenger up into contention, so when Simon Says Hanover came out for the stretch drive to challenge River Ness, the “real race” was on.
 
River Ness proved his usual game self, but Simon Says Hanover had a bit more left in the tank come crunch time, with the winner of $418,880 crossing the wire a neck to the good. Herbert Lux II trains Simon Says Hanover for owners Bill Mullin and Howard Taylor.
 
As difficult as the victory of Simon Says Hanover proved to be, the victory of the Brad De Veluwe trotting mare Laferraridmanche S was easy, posting a five length triumph in the $20,000 fast-class trot, also with Boyd in the sulky. The Andrew Harris trainee, co-owned by Harris with Ray Lasky and Nathan Cockerman is perfect in two starts since coming here from Yonkers came first-over, went by near the three-quarters, and stopped the clock in 1:52.4, rewriting her lifetime mark. (With Laferraridmanche S dominating in the mountains and Ari Ferrari J showing good form at Philly, there may be a super matchup of horsepower between these two shortly.)
 
A $17,500 pace for high-caliber pacing mares saw the Tall Dark Stranger mare Ballard make every pole a winning one from the rail, although pocket horse La Miki N closed to within a nose at the end of the 1:52 mile. Ballard was driven by Matt Kakaley for Travis Alexander and EVM Racing LLC.
 
Matt Kakaley had five winners during the Monday program, two of them for trainer Travis Alexander. Braxten Boyd checked in first four times; Tyler Buter had a pair of triumphs, both for trainer Cote Keim.
 
Tuesday’s 1 p.m. program will feature an excellent $27,500 fast-class handicap trot, matching Dame Good Time, who recently tied the world record for his division with a 1:50.2f victory, against champion $1.5 million-winning mare Warrawee Michelle and four other top diamondgaiters. There will also be a carryover into the last race High 5 wager. (In looking ahead to Saturday, look at this handicap pace lineup: Odds On Wildfire, Goliath Hanover, Twisted Destiny, Dandy Ideal, Ruthless Hanover, and Ken Hanover, with its three millionaires and 1:48.2 average lifetime mark.)

WILKES-BARRE PA – Rick Kane, Director Of Racing at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, has announced the creation of a $75,000 race for top pacing mares, the Mohegan Cup, to be held on Sunday, July 26 during a 5 p.m. twilight card.
 
The Mohegan Tribe of Native Americans is a federally-recognized tribe based in Connecticut. They entered the gaming world with Mohegan Sun, a casino in their home state in 1996, and when expanded gaming opportunities came to Pennsylvania in 2006, they were the first “racino” (racing and betting operation) to be open.
 
The open pacing mares division this year is especially exciting, led by the 1-2 punch coming from the stable of Hall of Fame trainer Chris Ryder – Twin B Joe Fresh, 2024 Harness Horse of the Year and a divisional champion last year, and Miki And Minnie, now four and the leader of her class at two and three. Twin B Joe Fresh has a career record of 51-36-9-2, good for earnings of $2,866,789, and Miki And Minnie, who is 29-21-6-2 in her racing career, just joined her stablemate in the $2 Million Club, bringing her bankroll to $2,007,710 with a victory in Canada’s Fan Hanover Stake (a race won by her stablemate the previous two years).
 
It must be noted, though, that a trainer may have only one entrant in the Mohegan Cup; there will therefore not be a showdown, but in a sense it’s a nice problem for trainer Ryder to have.
 
Team Ryder does not have a hammerlock on this division, though. Other top mares so far in 2026 have been Louies Girl N, a Down Under import who had won 13 of 15 North American starts before finishing third in the Fan Hanover last week; The Last Martini, a millionaire who was second to Miki And Minnie in both the Fan Hanover elimination and final; and Tarapasta, the highest moneywinner among all of North America’s Standardbred females to this point in 2026, largely on the strength of an upset win in the MGM Mares Pacing Series Championship at Yonkers recently.
 
The July 26 Mohegan Cup will be drawn on Tuesday morning, July 21, and the eight entrants with the highest moneyearnings in 2026 at time of declaration will be the starters. Further information about the Mohegan Cup or any other racing at Pocono should be directed to Rick Kane at 570 831 2288.

WILKES-BARRE PA – A pair of claiming paces for the highest-tagged horses racing at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania was held during the Sunday twilight card.
 
The $15,500 claiming handicap pace for horses carrying prices between $30,000 and $40,000 went to the Art Official gelding Art Of Revenge, who certainly did not have the easiest trip but still held on for the win in 1:50.1. The winner, second choice of the Pocono punters, was three- then two-wide past the quarter to get the lead, then had to battle with raw favorite Up The Creek, coming off a win in this class. Art Of Revenge stayed steady in the lane, and Statesidelckdwn GB proved the biggest threat, with his late rush carrying him to second, a head behind the winner and a length ahead of the favorite, who finished third.
 
Art Of Revenge was yet another winner for the track’s leading driver and trainer, Tyler Buter and Ron Burke, and he has been successful in three of his last four starts for Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
 
For horses tagged at $20,000, there was a $14,000 event, which was taken in wire-to-wire fashion by the Lazarus N gelding Whiskey Breath in 1:52.2. Big Ego chased the winner from the pocket but came up a half length shy to the Matt Kakaley-driven winner, trained by Darren Taneyhill for P T Stable.
 
The Stay Hungry - Twin B Dream Girl gelding Lykens Valley made a memorable career debut, closing well after coming very wide off the final turn and just nipping heavy favorite Wardensville, who used the Pocono Pike but was a nose less photogenic in the 1:57.2 mile. Driven and trained by David Wiest and co-owned by him with Justin Wiest, Lykens Valley became only the fourth horse to pay in triple digits to win at Pocono this year, returning $102.60 to his scattered backers.
 
Driver Matt Kakaley and trainer Joe Pavia Jr. swept the Late Double together; the two wins gave Kakaley four wins on the night to lead all horsemen. Pavia tied with trainer Åke Svanstedt for conditioning honors with a pair of successes; Tyler Buter also had two wins.
 
Monday’s 1 p.m. card at Pocono will be highlighted by the $20,000 Game Of Claims Pacing Series Championship; no one of the $20,000 base-tagged horses won in all three preliminaries, and the three horses who won two prelims were stuck with posts six / seven / eight for their finale. Free Pocono program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.

CHESTER PA – For his entire day’s work at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon, driver Todd McCarthy had to face only three equine opponents – and he got the job done in the cameo performance, guiding the Sweet Lou colt Toast Of The Town to a new lifetime mark of 1:51 in the $13,500 handicap pacing feature for developing horses, scratched down to a field of four.
 
With the 1-5 winner in post one and the 8-5 second choice (Moneyhill GB) in post two, it wasn’t hard to envision a lineup. And McCarthy guided the sophomore right to the point with fractions of :28.1 and :57, then turned on the afterburners to a 1:24 three quarters. To his credit Moneyhill GB stayed right with the winner, but another :27 quarter home saw the pocketsitter fall a neck shy of the winner, trained by Noel Daley for Let It Ride Stables Inc., Morrison Racing Stables, Jesmeral Stable, and Alberg Racing.
 
In a $12,000 pace for horses one rung below the feature horses, the Sweet Lou gelding Ghetto Loupastar won his second straight (and perhaps earn a bumpup to the higher level) while controlling the pace en route to a 1:52.3 victory. Scandalous Rumor rode the pocket to be second, a half length behind the in-control winner, with Stay Fresh just another neck off. Tim Tetrick guided the sophomore to the win for trainer Ron Burke and the familiar partnership of Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC along with Phil Collura.
 
The Bettor’s Wish gelding Wish You Well continued his comeback with a second triumph in succession, making every pole a winning one in the $13,000 handicap for fast-class sidewheelers in 1:49.4. The career winner of $531,795 made every pole a winning one, with Captain Crusader A closing off cover for second while photoing out first-out Back Pocket Miki, that pair 1½ lengths behind the winner. Corey Callahan had the steer for trainer Linda Toscano and Kovach Stables LLC.
 
Polesitter Big Bang Bang put up a “picket fence line” – all “1”s across – while equaling his mark of 1:50.1 in the $11,500 subfeature fast class pace. Perfect Wager came up a neck short of being a pocket rocket as Big Bang Bang got the job done for driver Simon Allard, trainer Darren Taneyhill, and owner Carmen Iannacone.
 
Tim Tetrick and Simon Allard, 1-2 in the driving win standings locally, were the only professional sulkysmiths to post two wins on the card. There was a driving triple, however – by amateur driver Yogi Sheridan, who captured three AHDC races, training one winner and handling the other two for trainer Izzy Estrada. (A separate report on Sunday AHDC racing in eastern Pennsylvania was to be sent separately.)
 
The pari-mutuel racing at Harrah’s resumes on “Trottin’ Thursday” with a 12:25 card; Ari Ferrari J, winner in the $16,000 fast-class feature last week, has been assigned to the far outside in the field of six. Free Philly program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.

WILKES-BARRE PA – Loua Dipa and Miss Jum Jabber, the two “big fillies,” won as expected in Saturday’s third preliminary of the Pennsylvania Sire Stake for sophomore pacing misses, worth $106,254 over two divisions, at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania. Both stopped the clock in 1:50.3, with supercharged back half speed; both won by half a length, but looked to be more control than the margin may suggest.
 
Loua Dipa, the Sweet Lou filly who was #2 in the first Top Ten poll of the season after her championship freshman campaign and coming off a victory in the Fan Hanover final, was on the move off the first turn, made the top, and got a breather to the half. Her last splits of :54 - :26.2 left all in the field far behind save one – Darlin’s Angel, who won her only other Sire Stake start but hadn’t raced in 40 days. The pocket horse kept right with the star pacesetter all the way to the wire in an excellent performance, but driver Ron Wrenn Jr. did not seem to wonder whether his filly would stay on.
 
Loua Dipa, winning in the PaSS for the first time in 2026, is conditioned by Ron Burke (we’ll hear more about “The Two Ronnies” later) for the Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC partnership.
 
When we say that Loua Dipa had not won a 2026 Sire Stake before Saturday, this does not mean she hadn’t entered one. She made her seasonal debut in a PaSS at Philly May 1 – as Miss Jum Jabber had her “coming-out party” that day by defeating the champion by a head.
 
A Bettor’s Wish filly trained by Brett Pelling for his Pelling Racing LLC, Miss Jum Jabber did not race at two, lost her career bow (though coming her last quarter in :25), and has since gone on to win all eight of her starts, including the earlier photoing of Loua Dipa and Saturday’s Pocono victory. Miss Jum Jabber does not show a “1” at the quarter in her program lines, and indeed driver Andrew McCarthy reserved her in fourth through the first half mile.
 
A tug on the right line had “MJJ” out and bursting up towards the leader while pacing her own third split in :26.1, and she continued with a final quarter of :27 (with head characteristically cocked a bit to the right) to overhaul a very stubborn pacesetter I’m A Lou Lou (trained by Burke). The two great fillies don’t have their next possible Sire Stake meeting until August 27 (a week before the $300G Championship on September 6), but they may clash on the Grand Circuit before that.
 
We mentioned “The Two Ronnies” as the combination of Wrenn and Burke (and not the beloved British comedy duo), and they came very close to sweeping the four $20,000 divisions of the complementary Stallion Series action, taking the first three cuts including the fastest with the Papi Rob Hanover filly Real Fast in a lifetime best 1:51.2. This division matched Real Fast and Tall Dark Tequila, the double winners in the Stallion Series to date, with the former setting the pace then booming home in :55.2 to beat the latter for Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Knox Services Inc., and Slaughter Racing Stable LLC.
 
Another filly co-owned by Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC (this one with Lawrence Karr and Phil Collura), Sandyboots Yankee, got into contention by going her own third quarter raw in :26.3 then pacing right away to lower her mark to 1:52.2 for The Two Ronnies; they also were the team behind 9-1 upsetter With The Fur, a Tall Dark Stranger filly who came from five lengths back at the half to reduce her mark to 1:54 for owner Howard Taylor.
 
“Team Ronnie” had the chalk in the final StS cut in looking for the four-bagger in those races, but their horse made an early break, leaving the door open for trainer Brett Pelling to get a victory in both sections of the PA-sired action with the Captaintreacherous filly Gracious. She won in a career best 1:52.3, getting some late left-side taps from driver Brett Beckwith in gaining the triumph for Diamond Creek Racing.
 
Haltered for $23,000 after winning his third straight against claiming horses last time out, Goliath Hanover took a stepup to the $20,000 overnight fast-class pace and won with aplomb, sweeping wide off cover and pacing away to a new lifetime best of 1:49 under the direction of Matt Kakaley. The victorious Betting Line gelding has won $29,500 during his four-race win skein, and his new account for owner P T Stable and trainer Darren Taneyhill already has $10,000 of that.
 
The horses in Pocono’s fourth race wore a white ribbon in their manes to honor those horses who lost life in a fire at Saratoga Harness earlier this week.
 
Besides their stakes quadruple, Wrenn/Burke (the latter top trainer at PcD) also won an overnight race to each visit Victory Lane five times. The Pelling/Beckwith win with Gracious was part of a double for both horsemen.
 
The highest-level claimers at Pocono will be spotlighted during the 5 p.m. Sunday twilight card; two-year-olds will also be making early pari-mutuel starts in other contests. Free Pocono program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.

CHESTER PA – No horse or horseperson will ever turn down the misfortune of others as good luck helping towards a victory, but it’s indeed likely the Walner filly Sparks would have won under any circumstances as she took the $12,000 featured trot on Friday at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
 
In a seven-horse field, two broke near the start, another broke past the half, and a fourth horse couldn’t keep up past the half. Sparks was sitting third of the “survivors,” was moved outside by driver Johnathan Ahle late on the backstretch, and put in consecutive last quarters of :27.4 to win safely in 1:56. The Åke Svanstedt trainee, a winner of a Bluegrass Stake at The Red Mile last year, is co-owned by Svanstedt with Journey Horses, Graham Grace Stables, and Joe Sbrocco & JAF Racing.
 
Fast-class pacing mares had their turn in the Philly spotlight in a $10,000 contest, which was taken by favored Blood Moon A in 1:52. The daughter of Pet Rock left with speed and purpose to ensure she would retain the engine throttle, then went on to identical :28 quarters in covering the last half while in control. Tim Tetrick got the job done with the Enrico Robinson trainee for Pollack Racing LLC.
 
Friday got off to a very fast start at Philly when Hungry Marco went wire-to-wire in the seasonal local debut for the freshman pacing male set, stepping home in :56 - :27.2 to complete the mile in 1:54.2, which ties him with the filly Banana Beach as the fastest freshman of a five-eighth mile track to date. The Stay Hungry – Always Giggling colt is a three-quarter brother to Gigglingonthebeach, a triple stakes winner at two and three and a Breeders Crown finalist at two. Art Stafford Jr. guided the impressive baby for trainer Jamie Sullivan and owners David Hamm, Glenn Phillips, and Frank Chick.
 
The division for sidewheeling freshman fillies also produced an excellent show as Treacherous Bet, a daughter of Captaintreacherous – Bet On Sunday (who has many impressive names not far back in her pedigree), was just along to catch the two-moving Cowboy Candy by a neck in 1:55.4, coming her own back fractions in  :55.1 - :27. Andrew McCarthy had the lines for trainer Noel Daley, also part of the partnership package with Patricia Stables, Sjoeblom Racing, and Michael Dolan.
 
Grand Mini, a sophomore Walner colt whose third dam is the legendary Moni Maker, is unbeaten in two career starts, both this year, after a 1:55.4 mile, going to the top nearing the second turn and winning by a safe margin with Tim Tetrick judging the late chargers not to have enough into the :28.3 kicker. Trainer Nancy Takter is a co-owner with Stall Droad Inc.
 
Meet leader Tim Tetrick guided home five winners on the day, two of them for the only trainer who had a pair of winners, Scott Di Domenico. George Napolitano Jr. drove three success stories, and Simon Allard arrived home first twice.
 
Father’s Day Sunday will see several specials and “added attractions” joining the live racing, which will feature a $13,500 pace for the up-and-coming set and a $13,000 fast-class pace. Free Philly program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.

CHESTER PA – On a day with a strong stretch headwind (the average last quarter was over a second slower than the average third quarter), millionaire Ari Ferrari J both started and finished strongly to win the $16,000 fast-class handicap on “Trottin’ Thursday” at Harrah’s Philadelphia in 1:52.
 
Tyler Buter, the leading driver at Pocono taking a rare sojourn south, was three-wide to the eighth and out until a :26.3 quarter with the son of Walner, as he wanted the favorite to control the scenario. Ari Ferrari J clicked off the middle splits of :56 and 1:23.3, then came home in :28.2 (faster than any winner save one, about whom more in a bit) to win by 2½ lengths over Benjamin Hanover for trainer Tony Alagna and owner Kenneth Jacobs.  
 
In the $11,500 second-level feature for the fast-class diamondgaiters, Mrmayor Hanover was sent to the lead by Patrick Ryder, got a slow second quarter, then was able to hold off favored Go For Broke (closing into the wind) by 1½ lengths in 1:55.2. The Explosive Matter gelding is trained by Chuck Crissman Jr. for Sartin Racing LLC.
 
The $14,000 feature for the developing trotters proved the stylistic anomaly of the day, as the Captain Corey colt Captain Jordan found himself dead last in the field of seven, 9¼ lengths behind, with a quarter mile to go. But Tim Tetrick eased him clear then sent him widest, and he literally trotted a :28 hole into the wind to win by a half length over For July while taking a new mark of 1:54.1. Trainer Scott Di Domenico’s Triple D Stables Inc. co-owns the winner of half his lifetime starts (7-for-14) with Joe Faraldo.
 
The $13,500 co-feature for the up-and-coming class saw the Manofmanymissions gelding Geronimo Trio IT utilize pocket rocket tactics to win in 1:56 for driver Andrew McCarthy, trainer Per Engblom, and Tar Heel Racing.
 
The two-year-old trotters inaugurated the local freshman pari-mutuel season on the card. The Met’s Hall gelding Uncle Rob (dam Jesse’s Con) got a slow half then proved uncatchable in 2:00.3, a maiden mark, for trainer Julie Miller and driver-husband Andy, whose Andy Miller Stable Inc. owns the promising youngster. The filly winner went faster, as the Captain Corey – Armatrading miss Cuckoos Nest flew over her field in 1:58.3 (own last half :57) in her first betting contest for driver Tim Tetrick, trainer Anette Lorentzon, and owners Bedell Conboy and Polly Hilliard.
 
Andrew McCarthy scored five victories on the Thursday card, including two for trainer Per Engblom, who joined Eric Ell as a conditioning double winner. Philly’s leading driver Tim Tetrick checked home first four times, while Andy Miller reached the wire first twice.
 
Friday’s Philly card will feature a trot for developing horses, a fast-class mares pace, and the first betting appearance of both sexes of pacers; there will also be a carryover into the first race Superfecta. Free Philly program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.

WILKES-BARRE PA – Trainer Hunter Oakes came out firing during the Wednesday morning (into early afternoon) qualifying session at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, sending out five winners, including two who now have two victories. Both were driven by Tyler Buter, Pocono’s leading driver, who was the top sulkysitter during the baby races with four victories.
 
Oakes sent out two winning males on each gait, including the fastest colt, Celebrity Dubai (Chapter Seven – Pennies From Above), who closed in :57.3 from the pocket for a 1:59.3 win for driver Jason Bartlett and the ownership of Flying A Racing Stable and Celebrity Farms. Oakes’s repeat winner, driven by Buter, was the colt Celebrity Hunter (Captain Corey – Are You Ready), also part-owned by Celebrity Farms, in 2:00.4.
 
Fastest trotter overall was another offspring of Captain Corey, the filly Cabaletta Hanover (dam Caviart Jenny), who blitzed home in :28.1 from the pocket to be up in 1:58.3 for driver Matt Kakaley and trainer Emily Bost, co-owner with Steve Salerno. Trainer-driver Åke Svanstedt continued sending out power performers with two filly winners, Sip Away (Ecurie D DK – Amazing Tilly S) in 2:01 and Woke Up Winning (Walner - Morning Glow) in 2:03.
 
As mentioned, Oakes had a double in the pacing male ranks, but here he was outdone by trainer Travis Alexander, who had the other three winners in this section. Quickest was Primary Section, a colt by American Ideal – Preeminence, who came his last half in :57 to stop the timer in 1:57.1 for driver Matt Kakaley and the partnership of Alexander Racing Stable LLC, C M T Farms, EVM Racing LLC, and James Scarpias.
 
Kakaley also partnered with Alexander on the colt Harbaugh (Downbytheseaside – Hometown Blues), who won in 1:57.4 - :56.4 - :28.1 from the pocket. Ridge Warren piloted the other successful member of Team Alexander, the Heston Blue Chip – Counterparty Risk colt Current Events (also co-owned by Alexander Racing) in 1:59.4 - :58.1 - :29.
 
Oakes’s duo among the pacing colts were Dapper Station (Captain Crunch – Dandy’s Sweetness) in 1:57.2 - :57.2 - :28.2 for Buter, and Babylon Blue Chip (Huntsville – Onassis Blue Chip), triumphant in 1:58.3 - :57 - :28.2 for Bartlett.
 
Buter drove the repeat winner among the pacing fillies, Wine Down Wensday (Huntsville – Tequila Monday), here successful in 2:00 while coming home in :56.2 despite broken equipment for Oakes. The fastest in this group was Huntrix (Huntsville – Ubettergo Go), wire-to-wire in 1:57.2 - :56.1 for driver Ridge Warren, trainer Joe Pavia Jr., and the ownership of Steven Held, Vincent Ferriero Jr., Todd Frocione, and Pint Size Racing LLC.
 
With ten babies (including three trotters) winning in sub-2:00 and the stakes season fast approaching, this report or next week’s will be the last summary before the youngsters go to the pari-mutuel battles. Replays of the Pocono baby qualifiers can be viewed at www.phha.org.

WILKES-BARRE PA – A pair of $15,500 trotting events for horses looking to ascend the classladder was featured at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania as the local betting racing week concluded on Tuesday.
 
It’s not hard to see very good things in the near future of the Tactical Landing colt Southwind Alamo, winner of the faster feature division in a new mark of 1:53.2. Johnathan Ahle moved the Ron Coyne Jr. trainee to the lead after the quarter and the sophomore was fully in control from there, sprinting home in :56 - :27.3 while showing no exertion. The partnership behind Southwind Alamo is Coyne & Pachuta Stable, Blair Corbeil, Richard Carney, and Mike McAllister.
 
The other section of featured trot saw driver Braxten Boyd get Skydiver out of a bad shuffle on the far turn, whereupon the son of Greenshoe angled wide and launched a furious rally from fifth at headstretch to win in 1:56. Laura Angle trains Skydiver for Howard and Joshua Kaufman.
 
George Napolitano Jr. drove three winners, two of them for the only trainer to double on Tuesday, Marc Mosher; the meet’s leading driver Tyler Buter also reported home first three times. Simon Allard had a driving double.
 
The Wednesday Morning Marathon continues at Pocono tomorrow with nineteen qualifying races, sixteen of them for freshmen preparing (they hope) for the stakes season just around the corner. The next Pocono pari-mutuel card will take place Saturday at 1 p.m., with Pennsylvania Sire Stakes action for three-year-old pacing fillies including Loua Dipa, last year’s two-year-old Dan Patch champion and winner of the Fan Hanover final in her last start. Also entered is Miss Jum Jabber, winner of seven straight – and conqueror of Loua Dipa in an earlier Sire Stake; the two have drawn into separate divisions Saturday.
