A pair of Always B Miki sophomore pacing fillies, So Irresistible and Incaseyoudidntknow, came right back to run their Bobby Weiss Series records to two-for-two with tallies in their respective $17,500 second preliminary legs Monday afternoon (April 12) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
So Irresistible came with an uncovered sweep on the second turn to grab command early in the backstretch, pacing out her own back half in :54.3 to stop the timer at 1:53 a length ahead of 35-1 shot Beach Crazy. Scott Zeron was again behind the Bruce Saunders trainee as she remained perfect in three seasonal starts for owners Charles and Julie Nash.

The perennial “king” of the driving colony at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, George Napolitano Jr., is serving early notice that he will be tough to dethrone in 2021, posting his second-straight card of posting six victories on Sunday (March 14).
The double sextet now gives George a 38-31 advantage over his brother Anthony, and quick math shows the pair has won 41 percent of all races held at the mountain track during the first 12 days of the meet.
Two from George’s six-bagger came for trainer Gilbert Garcia-Herrera, who now has nine visits to the Pocono winner s circle this year one more than Jennifer Bongiorno and Dan Maier. The pair’s most impressive hookup of the night was with the Art Major mare Crazy Cute, who had 80 days since her last race, but still managed to set the pace and come home a final half in :55.2 to win in 1:53.4. The win for the partnership of Garcia-Herrera and Barbara Arnstine was the fastest clocking of the card.
