The Stay Hungry gelding Snack Attack blew up the tote board with a 1:50.4 triumph in the $200,000 Hempt Consolation, paying $98.00 to win. Jason Bartlett backed out of the pocket late on the far turn for clearance, then swung wide and got the job done in a lifetime best clocking for trainer Joe Bongiorno and owners Philip Steinberg, Joe Sbrocco, and JAF Racing LLC. Thirsty Tuesday made a brief break on the final turn and caused interference; he rebounded to cross the wire second but was placed back for bothering other horses.

Sitting seventh early in the stretch is not prime real estate at Pocono, but the Papi Rob Hanover gelding Makes Sense, mired behind excess cover, found himself in that position in the $100,000 Hempt Consolation. Fortunately for the Robert Cleary trainee, the pace had been quite contested, and driver James MacDonald got a nice rally from Makes Sense to pick up Joel And The Jets by a half length in 1:50.4, missing his mark by a tick. Let It Ride Stables Inc., Celtic Racing, and Carl Howard were the prime beneficiaries of the big finish.

LYNCH THREE-YEAR-OLD PACING FILLIES

Favored Gigglingonthebeach was stung to a :26.2 quarter getting by Westwinds, then still had enough to stave off that potential pocket rocket while coming home in :27.2 to win the $125,000 Lynch Consolation while taking a mark of 1:50 by a neck. Driver James MacDonald and trainer Juan Cano, a hot combination in recent weeks, combined for the win with the daughter of Papi Rob Hanover, who is owned by Hot Lead Farm.

The Tall Dark Stranger filly Perfidious Crown was alertly hustled into the three-hole early by Pocono’s leading driver, Tyler Buter, then found room up the famed Pocono Pike and responded with a sharp burst to take the $75,000 Lynch Consolation in 1:51.4. Tony Alagna trains the winner (along with second-place finisher Simply Perfect); she is owned by Let It Ride Stables Inc., Alagna Racing LLC, and Big Als Stables.

BEAL THREE-YEAR-OLD TROTTING COLTS

Fashion Green worked his way to the lead at the quarter and set the pace as he pleased in the $200,000 Beal Consolation, then had enough to withstand the game first-over Happy Jack B while equaling his mark of 1:52.2. The Greenshoe gelding, driven by Tim Tetrick for Jim Campbell and Fashion Farms LLC, pushed his lifetime record to eight for nine (the only loss a combination of bad luck and bad timing, as he was first-over in his Hambo elim and couldn’t make the final).

Frank Leahy yielded to sit in the two-hole in the $100,000 Beal Consolation, then moved inside for the stretch to catch pacesetting stablemate Cheers Hanover by a head while taking a new mark of 1:52.4. Yannick Gingras drove the winner, and Ron Burke trained the 1-2 finishers; the victorious Southwind Frank colt is owned by Ben Mondello LLC and FAC Racing LLC.

DELMONICA HANOVER THREE-YEAR-OLD TROTTING FILLIES

The $125,000 Delmonica Hanover Consolation proved to be an easy victory for the Father Patrick filly R Dutchess, who was ready after 21 days away and came within a fifth of her mark posting a 1:52.2 time. Tim Tetrick controlled the pace with a move in front of the stands, and the filly continued on impressively to tally for trainer John Butenschoen and lessee M and L Delaware / Armitage Farm.

In the $75,000 Delmonica Hanover consolation, the Cantab Hall filly Lasting Dream got the day off to a fast start, equaling the Pocono divisional track record with a 1:51.3 effort with two speed moves for driver Louis Roy. Trainer Luc Blais and owner Determination saw their filly become the fifth of her class to go in 1:51.3 at Pocono, joining Check Me Out (2012), Designed To Be (2014), Joviality S (2022), and Warrawee Michelle (2024). That track record lasted under four hours, as Yo Tillie lowered it by a fifth in the main Delmonica Hanover event.
