One Eight Hundred sharp again in Weiss Series

At 0h01, on April 18, 2021 By POCONO DOWNS

The heralded One Eight Hundred, so impressive in his 1:50.2 – 26.1 first-round win in the Bobby Weiss Series for three-year-old pacing males at Pocono Downs, took last week off but showed Saturday he had lost nothing by winning his section of the $17,500 third and final Weiss prelims.

Josert Fonseca sent the colt to the top before a :26.2 quarter, then backed off fractions to :55.4 and 1:24.4. Unlike in his first win, which was his first seasonal start and where he looked to be given a quarter-mile finishing test, One Eight Hundred was under his own power through the wire, yet still came home in :27.1, a second faster than did the other two Weiss divisions on a day where the next fastest kicker was :27.4. The Somebeachsomewhere colt still looks like the colt to beat in next Saturday’s $40,000 Final for trainer Nancy Takter, also co-owner with Brixton Medical Inc.

Sunday’s Pocono card, which starts at 5 p.m., features three divisions of the final preliminary of the Weiss Series for sophomore male trotters.
