- Sun Stakes Saturday eliminations set at Pocono (Monday, June 20, 2016)
What will be the greatest collection of harness racing talent assembled for one card so far in 2016 will gather at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono this Saturday night (June 25), as the eliminations for the $2 million-plus Sun Stakes Saturday Championships will be held, seven days before the championship events.
- Miller looks to stay hot in stakes eliminations at Pocono (Wednesday, June 22, 2016)
Just days after enjoying his first North America Cup win with Betting Line, driver David Miller is preparing for more fireworks ahead. Miller’s attention this Saturday is focused on the all-star cast assembled for eliminations for Grand Circuit stakes at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
- Miller speaks highly of Trolley heading into Beal elims (Friday, June 24, 2016)
Although Southwind Frank sports the divisional crown and rightfully so, he is surrounded by rivals seeking to snatch that glistening accessory on every occasion he places a hoof upon the track. In this Saturday’s (June 25) $25,000 Earl Beal Jr. Memorial eliminations at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, Trolley tosses himself into the fray, to not only derail the champion’s journey to the Hambletonian, but to launch his own bid to sport the crown.
