The annual winter series at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, the Game Of Claims Series, gets underway this Saturday afternoon (Feb. 19) at the northeast Pennsylvania oval, with two pacing sections contesting the first of three preliminary legs to see which horses can earn their way into their rich series finals on Saturday, March 12.
There are five divisions of the first leg for both the $25,000-priced and the $15,000-priced horses on Saturday. Driver Marcus Miller, who guided home three winners on last Saturday’s inaugural card of 2022, is listed behind two of them among the higher-priced grouping: Go West Go Fast, who gets a major shift in post to the rail after some creditable miles from outer slots at The Meadowlands, in race 5, and race 9’s Thisjetsabookin, a six-figure earner in 2021 who has been a steady checkgetter in higher company at Yonkers.
The Game Of Claims series also has upcoming divisions for $7,500- and $10,000-base pacers and $15,000-base trotters in February and March.
