Wilkes-Barre, PA — Scott Rocks rallied for his second straight victory in the $21,500 Saturday night (Oct. 5) featured pace at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, one of eight winners brought home on the card by the track’s seasonal and all-time leading driver George Napolitano Jr.

A winner of $1,033,974, Scott Rocks was sent to the lead before the :26.3 quarter by Napolitano and the pair then yielded to Western Joe, who was the favorite. Western Joe led the field past a :55.1 half, a 1:23.1 three-quarters, and into the stretch.

But Scott Rocks started to angle to the outside after turning into the lane, and in the final strides he was able to put a nose ahead of the pacesetter in 1:50.2.

Hunter Oakes trains the winner, who now has a lifetime win percentage over one-third with 59 victories in 175 starts, for owners Northfork Racing Stable and Chuck Pompey.

Dealt A Winner, who had missed by :a nose to Western Joe last week in the $17,500 sub-feature, won in 1:49.2, as the 1-20 favorite.

Napolitano also handled the winning Cam’s Card Shark gelding, who raised his lifetime bankroll to $1,264,864, for trainer Mark Silva and owner Jeffrey Snyder.
