my comment, sorry no selections
however i assume this is their biggest day of the year
and no in house production show of any kind
just the old regular announcer reading out what anyone can see on the program
no other 'experts" offering other analysis or perhaps how the race might play out
kind of sad really but not shocking for harness racing

Like most casinos tracks Pocono don’t care. But at least they were kind enough to open the paddock early so horsemen didn’t get stuck being late with a Trump rally up the street

5 had to come down
the 4 certainly had to be grabbed up and lost momentum
i suspect if 4 had finished closer say 2nd they likely take the 5 down
bad call for sure

Made a break, lost no ground, interfered with the horse behind him. No placing I give up.

The judges threw the home town driver a big favor. What a shame for all gamblers and horsemen and owners involved. Just no care at all that this is a business and a public gambling game

There were more people at the races than at this snoozefest rally for Trump. Plenty and I mean Plenty of empty seats.
Trump just said Wilkes Barre is in North Carolina.  ngc3

He's starting to remind me of a washed up comedian who ends up eating his pistol in the Catskills after being let go of his summer resort job telling stale jokes.

Same old tired act

At least I had $10 WP on Captain Albano and caught the tri  tmbz1
Rest of tonight was a total waste of my time.
Think I'll go play craps with my afternoon profit

Horse should have for sure come down, but I’m really not sad to see Engblom get screwed.
