by John Berry, for Pompano Park

Pompano Beach, FL — Pompano Park track record holder Panocchio will be in action on Sunday night (Oct. 30) as the South Florida track presents a very classy Open handicap for pacers.

Bettors should like the festivities as well, as three carryovers and a Pick-4 guarantee are on tap to whet the appetite on the 12-race buffet.

Panocchio, off of two qualifying events, was up to the task in his fall debut at Pompano Park last week, repelling a serious challenge by Sing For Me George to score in 1:50.4 for Wally Hennessey.

Owned by Emile Johnson Jr. along with trainer Jim Mattison, Panocchio has been installed as the 7-5 morning line favorite against Sing For Me George, second choice at 5-2. Winyard Hanover, Secretsoftheknight, No Bad Dreams and Here Comes William complete the million dollar field.

Pompano Park also has carryovers in their Pick-5 event covering races one through five, the Pick-6 encompassing races three through eight and their Super Hi-5, contested on the finale.

A $5,000 guarantee on the track’s Pick-4, covering races six through nine, has also been installed for the Sunday night program.

Scheduled post time is 7:20 p.m.
