Swoosh Hanover matches track record in win at Pocono

Wilkes-Barre, PA — Swoosh Hanover romped to a conditioned trotting win and matched a track record in the process on Tuesday afternoon at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

Trained by Richard Johnson and driven by Tim Tetrick, Swoosh Hanover, a 3-year-old filly by Lindy Lane out of Swift Kathy, rolled to a win in a $7,500 non-winners of two trot in 1:54.4. The time matched the track record for 3-year-old filly trotters set just four days ago by Lantern Kronos.

Owned by Fabulous Farms LLC, Swoosh Hanover has won three straight races after a third in her debut in May. The previous two wins came at Mohawk.

Leader Of The Bax leads the way in Meadows Series

Meadow Lands, PA — Leader Of The Bax converted a perfect pocket trip to victory on Tuesday at The Meadows, taking a division of the Mary Wohlmuth Trot for freshman fillies.

Doug Snyder guided the daughter of Broadway Hall-Bax Machine to the pocket behind leader Allamerican Phoebe. Leader Of The Bax made her winning move around the far turn, drawing off to triumph by three lengths in 2:01.4 over Nordic Nymph. Lasers Kayde passed the tired Allamerican Phoebe for show. Dane Snyder trains Leader Of The Bax, who has been in the money in all three career starts, for Windsong Stable.

Also capturing an $8,000 division of the Wohlmuth Series second leg was Lost Photo, who poured through the “Lightning Lane” for Dick Stillings in her career debut. The winning time was 2:04.1. Rich Gillock trains the daughter of S J’s Photo-Lost Lady One for Andray Farm and Lindwood Farm.

In the $23,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Trot, Go Get Blanche was pushed extremely wide in the lane but continued her sustained rally. She scored for Tony Hall in 1:56.2, a half-length better than That Fly’n Angel. B V’s Sister was third. Sharlene Dufford trains Go Get Blanche, a daughter of Go Get Lost, and owns with Phillip B. Solon.
