Kaddari, a Walner filly who started her career with victories in the last two prelims of the Bobby Weiss Series for three-year-old trotting fillies, added the $50,000 Weiss Championship to her rapidly-growing resume on Tuesday afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.
On a perfectly dreadful morning with temperatures in the high 40s (48°F / 9°C) with rain but little wind, the qualifiers got a 9:00 a.m. early start at The Meadowlands. The track was listed as “sloppy” but that was not an issue for a number of harness racing's top trotters from 2022.
Elegant Dulupin FR took full advantage of the rail in the $40,000 Game Of Claims Series Championship for $25,000-based trotters, going wire-to-wire for driver Mark MacDonald while taking a new mark of 1:55 on Tuesday (April 25).
On a Monday afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania where horses racing up front did not do too well late, the best illustration of that concept came in the $20,000 Championship of the Game Of Pacing Claims Series for $10,000 claimers, where Southwind Dredge was last at every call but the most important one, thundering by his field to reach the wire first in 1:54.2.
Two of the three $20,000 divisions of the second prelim of the Bobby Weiss Series for sophomore trotting fillies saw repeat winners in Tuesday’s (April 18) action at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, but the other success story, the debutante Kaddari, who like the other Weiss winners is a daughter of Walner, posted the fastest time of 1:55.1 on a cold day.
