The Winter Is Coming Series for trotters had its first preliminary Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 4) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, and if the times of the winners of the three $12,500 divisions mean anything – 1:55.3, 1:55.4 and 1:55.4 – there should be some excellent competitive trotting on tap right up through the $20,000 series final on Nov. 18, the penultimate card of the year at the northeast Pennsylvania track.
