Legendary Hanover headlines Sun Stakes Saturday at Pocono

[The Thorn]

14 Stakes Races, 12 $100,000 or more. Races drawn by money earnings so most will be competitive. Seems like 3 year olds rule the day with the Pace and Adios winners squaring off, and competitive trots. The aged races pretty much suck. The Open Trot is weak other than Jiggy Jog and Lexus Cody, the FFA pace is horrible, and the Open Mares didn't fill. Still going to be their best card this year.

This is by far the best card of their year. Unfortunately there are many divisions that are weak. FFA pacing & Trotting fields are not deep. Hambo winner skips the Beal & no Highland Kismet. There should be some good racing. I like that no one gets assigned posts. That makes for better racing.

Curious to see how Legendary, Quarters, and Mirage handle the five-eights track.

A Casie horse could circle the moon and still win.

i like Sig Sauer in the Beal

lots of true talk about the rough trip Kismet had in Hambletonian--but Sig was blocked 3x in the pocket with no room

Beviglia should never be a morning line maker or track announcer

Jiggy Jog will not be 5/2....1/5 or lower is more accurate

Legendary will not be 2/1...1/5 or lower is more accurate

Sig Sauer has a big shot, should pay OK with TCI in the race. I like Tony Adams in Consolation 1, he shows up every race.  Not thrilled with a month off but he's in the right stable to overcome that.
Jiggy Jog is definitely 1/5 but I think Legendary will end up 1/2 as there are a few horses that have to take some money.

Where is Nijinsky??

I read an article where they said they don't want Legendary and him racing against each other if at all possible...which means one will race in the jug and the other won't

[Brown jug]

makes sense especially with nijinsky eligible to ontario sires
however if their is no conflict with oss you will see both in delaware
$1m usa will make that happenn

[JT]

i dont think The Jug is a $1mil race--or ever was

It was for the first time last year.. Delaware County passes a bed tax a few years ago and all proceeds go to the fair

Yes--i just read that

thanks

the previous record was like $670k i believe

[JT]

Of course I voted yes on it because I'm never going to stay in a hotel in the county  I live in.. First and only tax increases I ever voted for in my life LOL. Before last year total purse around 600 grand.. they did that to try encourage horses to race there. Most horsemen don't want to go 2 heats anymore so the total field has been shrinking over the last handful of years. That and the fear of drawing bad.
