Pocono feature to son of Donato Hanover

WILKES-BARRE, PA – The Donato Hanover gelding Donato Patriot K thundered home in :27.3 to complete a 1:55 harness racing victory in the $11,000 fast-class trot Monday afternoon at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Sun Pennsylvania.

Matt Kakaley reserved the winner of $211,908 in third much of the mile, then unleashed him uncovered at the three-quarters, and the powerful trotter made the lead by headstretch. Donato Patriot K won by five lengths for trainer Jenn Bongiorno and the ownership of the Ely Stable.
