WILKES-BARRE PA – Driver Anthony Napolitano remains the hottest pilot at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono – in fact, on the Sunday twilight card at The Downs he dialed up his dominance with six victories, giving him 23 wins in the last five local cards.
“Anthony Nap” captured the trotting division of the $12,000 tri-features on the card with the E L Titan trotting colt I Got The Looks, the even-money favorite who came with a big late rally to overhaul 47-1 shot Lazer Jet in the shadow of the wire to take a head decision. The final time of 1:54.2 was a lifetime best for the sophomore Steve Brabrook trainee, who is owned by Wish Me Luck Stables LLC and Jonathan Lapp Jr.

The Roll With Joe sophomore gelding Scootnroll, who opened his career with seven straight wins then was beaten by Billy Lincoln N in his previous start, got revenge on that rival when he took a new mark of 1:51 in the faster division of the pacing headliners. Tyler Buter moved the winner, who did not race at two, to the lead ahead of his rival in front of the stands, then withstood “Billy”’s late inside rally by a length for trainer John Hallett and owners Rick Howles and Geoffrey Holmes.
In the other pacing feature, pacesetter Warrawee Veloce was headed by Pocono Pike-shooting favorite So Many Roads in the stretch, but fought back bravely in the :55.2 last half to take a head decision in 1:53. Simon Allard had the sulky seat behind the Somebeachsomewhere three-year-old gelding, who is trained by Ron Burke and owned by Burke Racing Stable LLC, Lawrence Karr, J&T Silva – Purnel & Libby, and Dr. Michael Wilson. Allard took the last three races on the Pocono card, all with Ron Burke trainees; he had also posted three tallies at Harrah’s Philadelphia on that track’s Sunday afternoon program.
