WILKES-BARRE PA – The Sebastian K S gelding Kaseville had an easy time on the front end early, then had plenty left late to deal with challengers in winning the $15,000 featured trot on Tuesday afternoon at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
 
Driver Jim Pantaleano hustled Kaseville to the lead and got By A Hoff Hanover to drop in behind before the :28 quarter, as heavy favorite Muscle Dynasty made a miscue on the first turn and dug himself a big hole. Pantaleano took advantage of the lack of any challenge to back the half off to :58.3, then had reserves in the tank when Flanagan Destiny advanced uncovered towards the 1:27.1 three-quarters, and was 1¾ lengths ahead of that rival at the finish while tying his mark of 1:56. By A Hoff Hanover held third in a photo over the recovering Muscle Dynasty.
​The one-horse racing stable of trainer Tom Gummerson has now won two of his last four starts and has not missed the board in five seasonal starts for owners Joseph Colancecco, Mary Gummerson, and James Mc Cormick.
 
In a co-featured $12,500 trot, the Yankee Glide gelding Darty finally found the promised land of the winners circle in 2022 after several flirtations with it, going wire-to-wire for driver Braxten Boyd in 1:55.2. Darty withstood a bid from favored Vic’s Winner by a neck in taking his earnings to $160,903 for trainer Jill Wine and Wine Stable.
 
Racing resumes at Pocono on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 with the usual excellent assortment of fast-class veterans, developing youngsters, and tough claimers such as Go West Go Fast: winner of seven of his last eight and claimed out of his last seven starts, the last four times for a Pocono-equaling record price of $40,000.
