Counting tonight, just TWO more live racing programs remain for the 2012 season at The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. This evening's slate is a twelve race card, with a $25,000 Mares Open Pace the featured attraction. In that tenth race I am leaning towards the newest pacer to the Rene Allard stable and that's Farouche Hanover. The five-year old McArdle mare has been racing against top flight stock in Pittsburgh, with limited success. Allard has been known to change horses around for the better and I would look for Farouche Hanover to take it to the next level, with leading driver George Napolitano, in that competitive Open Pace beginning tonight!
