HAMBO PROSPECTS SHINE IN ALL-STARS RACES AT POCONO

WILKES-BARRE PA – Many owners and trainers contemplating entering their top three-year-old trotters for the sport’s greatest prize, the Hambletonian, got a good evaluation of their horse’s prowess three weeks before Hambo elim day as The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono held three $30,000 divisions of the Pennsylvania All-Stars event for this division on Saturday afternoon.
 
Fastest winner was the Father Patrick colt Big Oil, undefeated in two starts this year and the setter of a world record for a dead-heat on the trot when he tied with Real Cool Sam in 1:52.1 at Lexington last year. Andrew McCarthy, deputizing in the sulky for trainer Julie Miller and the ownership of Melvin Hartman, David McDuffee and Little E LLC, sent the favored colt to the early lead in a 27.2 opener – but then got a bit of surprise as second choice Chestnut Hill rocketed from eighth to first in the second quarter, looping a parked horse, and putting Big Oil in the pocket in middle fractions of :57.2 and 1:24.4 (third split with the wind).
