Captain Corey offspring again sailing to victory at Pocono
Those watching the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes and Stallion Series are very used to seeing sons and daughters of sire Captain Corey sail away sail away sail away in the stretch to victory. Captain Corey swept the two PaSS divisions of the third preliminary round for baby freshman trotters Monday (Aug. 17) afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania: with Orinoco, who followed two Sires seconds with a win, and then Two Day Hangover, now two-for-two in the Sires while handling an off track brought out by midcard rain.
Two Day Hangover trots Philly filly track record
There were two divisions of 2-year-old trotting fillies racing in second-round Pennsylvania Sire Stakes action on Thursday afternoon (Aug. 6) at Harrah’s Philadelphia. The two winners shared an amazing number of similarities: trainer Marcus Melander, driver Dexter Dunn, sire Captain Corey, being laid off for 23 days, favoritism, lowering their lifetime bests, staying undefeated, and setting a track record for their group.
