WILKES-BARRE PA – Mr Pasadena, second in Pocono’s inaugural card of 2026 this past Saturday, came right back on two days’ rest to capture the $15,500 featured trot on Tuesday at the mountain oval, winning in 1:57.1.
Braxten Boyd hustled the Green Manilishi S gelding right to the lead from the outermost starting slot, hitting the first station in :28.3 then getting a breather to the half in :59.2. The odds-on favorite went past the three-quarters in 1:28.1, but through the stretch 61-1 shot Moni Multiplier made growling noises in the Pocono Pike, forcing Mr Pasadena to work for a half-length decision. Braxten Boyd guided the chalk to Victory Lane for trainer Jill Wine and Wine Stable.
Simon Allard and Anthony Napolitano each guided a pair of winners on the Tuesday card; no trainer could manage more than one appearance in the winners circle.
Pocono’s next card will be held on Saturday at 1 p.m., and like the opening card there are a pair of $27,500 supercharged fast-class events, one on each gait, along with five $16,000 second round preliminaries of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series, with the entrants valued this week at a base claiming price of $27,500.
