Benjis Best, next-to-last at the half, outclosed Babes Dig Me and Sugartown in a three-across-the-wire finish to take the $16.000 claiming handicap pacing feature in 1:50.3 Saturday afternoon at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono
After a contested early pace of :26.3 and :54.2. Sugartown led the advancing backstretch outer tier, with Babes Dig Me and Benjis Best in the next two positions behind him. Sugartown cleared to the lead at the 1:22.2 three-quarters, with the other two contenders positioned for a good stretch fight, and the trio battled on to the wire, with Benjis Best getting a head ahead of Babes Dig Me right on the money under Marcus Miller s urging; Sugartown was another nose back in third.
Whiskey Blu survived a demanding opening panel and rolled to a comfortable victory in the James Manderino, a $36,995 Arden Downs Grand Circuit Stake for 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters, on Saturday (July 10) at The Meadows.
Capstone, the 3-5 favourite, parked Whiskey Blu past the quarter in :27.3, but winning driver Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. indicated he wasn’t unduly concerned about that tough early journey.
“I had to steady him to make sure he got through the first turn,” Wrenn said. “But once I got to the lead, I was pretty confident in my horse. I kept his attention late, but he had a lot more trot. He’s nice. There’s a reason he’s already won 11 times this year. I imagine he’d be really good on a big track, but he was strong today.”
