There were several things that were unpredictable about opening night Friday, March 24 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, namely the weather.

After five $7,500 divisions of the third and final preliminary leg of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series for $7,500 base-tag pacers Monday (March 20) afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, there was only one horse who won twice in the prelims, Believeinthespirit. 

P L Leeroy, the only double winner in the first two preliminaries in his sector of the Game Of Claims Pacing Series at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, couldn’t complete a sweep of his prelims on Sunday afternoon (March 19) in one of 10 $12,500 divisions for horses priced at $20,000. Instead, he was joined by his conqueror Mister Daytona N and four other horses as two-time victors as their group’s preliminaries ended a week before their $25,000 Championship.

There were four repeat winners in Saturday’s eight divisions of the second preliminaries of Game Of Claims Pacing Series for $27,500 base-tag horses, but during nine $12,500 divisions of the second-round Game Of Claims for $17,500-priced entrants Sunday (March 12) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, only P L Leeroy could post a repeat victory.

None Bettor A and American Courage, two free-for-all pacers entered in Monday’s first leg of the MGM Borgata Series at Yonkers Raceway, got in useful final workouts on Wednesday morning at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.
