we play harness many nights a week at one of Toronto GTA's busiest off tracks...I can assure you...NOBODY is playing Pocono..nobody is asking for it..no programs are sold...What im telling you..Canada bettors, which put handle in alot of horse places..alot of US TRACKS for sure are NOT the least bit interested in pocono on a sat night, let alone other late afts/nights

and yes that is a shame, if not for just the reason it has the best low camera angles in the business.

however what it doesn't have going for it from our Canadian perspective is:
*any kind of a discount wager..everything at Pocono for us is a $1.00 minimum, and that no longer cuts it...and that includes the attractive Rainbow bet, 10 cents for Americans, but a nonsense prohibitive dollar minimum for us up here
*have told you before, any race with george napolitano in it comes w/ throwing your programs away - hes one of few harness drivers that defy form, hellbent on working in and near the front

final straw for us up here to play pocono was last fall breeders crown nights..two full nights of quality racing but alas, no 10 or 20 cent exotic wagers available..just building handle off our backs at a buck minimum...
forget it.

In the 50 years history of Pocono Downs, when did they ever handle well? The place was a zero the day it opened with thoroughbreds.

The $25.99 buffet in the clubhouse should be luring people in on Saturday nights with a total of 6 dishes to choose from LOL.

Dalrae how is the buffet, is it worth the $25.99 that they are asking. To me it is WAY WAY over priced.

Until they clean out the criminals at Pocono, it will continue to be irrelevant.

Timber Buffet in the casino is $25.99 and they offer over 200 items. The club house buffet is is the same price and they offer 6 items. You tell me which is the better offer.
