Wilkes-Barre, PA – The Walner colt Inexpressable seems to be peaking at an opportune time of the 2026 harness racing season, adding to his resume by winning the Grade 2 $300,000 Earl Beal Memorial Trot for 3-year-old males on Saturday afternoon (Aug. 22) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania. He lowered his mark to 1:51.1 in the game neck victory over favorite Diabolic Hill.
Diabolic Hill was sent away wide at the start and kept on going to reach the lead by a :26.4 quarter. Inexpressable came out from third and made a sharp move to the lead, then got a much-needed breather to a :56 half. The next challenge came from Minoan, who gradually came up into contention, with Magic Punk on his back and Diabolic Hill waiting in the pocket as the field sent by the three quarters in 1:23.2 and raced along to the stretch.
The outside horses had a little bit too much difficulty making up ground quickly enough, but Diabolic Hill, perched in the pocket behind the pacesetter, went to the Pocono Pike to try to catch the leader up the rail. But Inexpressable dipped down deep into the solid foundation that Lucas Wallin had established, and he was able to ward off the potential pocket rocket by a neck, with Magic Punk rushing up late but settling for third.
Inexpressable, the winner of the Yonkers Trot, was sent off at 4-1 on a Pocono card where favorites did not have the easiest of times. Inexpressable was a $325,000 yearling purchase, and with this win he raised his lifetime earnings to $408,270 for Wallin Racing Stable Inc. and Karin Walter-Mommert.
