Its Mesmerise N wins again at Pocono

Wilkes-Barre, PA — Its Mesmerise N earned her fourth win in seven U.S. starts and took a new mark of 1:50.2 in the $14,000 distaff pacing feature during the twilight Sunday card (Sept. 6) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

Queen Of The Pride left best of all from the outside post in the field of six, with Topville Angelina challenging the pacesetter after the :26.2 quarter before reaching the lead at the three-eighths and hitting the half in :55. Annie Hill launched a big attack on the pacesetter up the backstretch, with Its Mesmerise N right on her back through the 1:22.2 three-quarters.

Tyler Buter tipped the American Ideal mare wide at head-stretch, and the pair rallied past Annie Hill before holding off a charging Attention Hanover by three-quarters of a length. Queen Of The Hill gained late up the rail to narrowly defeat Annie Hill for third.

Its Mesmerise N, who now has lifetime earnings of $83,686, races for trainer Darran Cassar and Windemere Stable LLC.

Anthony Napolitano had four wins on the card to lead all drivers on Sunday.
