WILKES-BARRE PA – The Explosive Matter gelding Papi Hanover enjoyed a downturn in company on Tuesday afternoon at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, taking the $12,500 featured fast-class trot in 1:56 over “sloppy” going.
 
Driver Ridge Warren sent the winner of $163,421 to the lead nearing the quarter while passing the original frontstepper Darty, controlled the pace, then could keep away the resurgent pocketsitter by three parts of a length. Karen Fread trains the winner, and she is also co-owner with Randy and Michael Toth along with James Mims Jr.
​The Dontyouforgetit mare Lady’s Image is a very consistent trotter – she has now been 1-2 in 11 of 12 starts in 2022, she now has three victories in a row, and she now will be competing for her fourth straight different barn next time after winning the $12,000 claiming handicap trot in a lifetime best 1:54.4 and being claimed. George Napolitano Jr. put the 1-5 favorite on the lead and left her foes well behind; though she had only a one week stay with trainer Chuck Crissman Jr. and owner Rodney Long, they made a $6000 profit on her minus expenses.
 
The Napolitano brothers, Anthony and George Jr., each visited Victory Lane three times during the Tuesday racing.
 
Racing resumes at Pocono on Saturday at 1:30, featuring probably the best card so far in 2022 at the mountain oval. The top event is the $50,000 Weiss Series Championship for sophomore pacing males, featuring the very promising Lanjo Lee and All Or Nothing; there are also a pair of $25,000 fast-class features, one on each gait.
