One After Nine sweeps Pocono series prelims
Why were Tuesday’s (Nov. 11) feature races at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania named the Winter Is Coming Trotting Series? Well, the day’s races at the mountain oval began at 30 degrees and had stiff winds, the mercury got all the way up to the freezing mark during the length of the afternoon, there were snow flurries at times, and the track was rated two seconds off the entire day.
Speed stands up in Pocono series splits
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.
