Reclamation paced a 1:51.2 mile to win the $17,500 distaff featured pace at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono Tuesday night (June 4), raising her scorecard to six wins in a row and 13-for-21 lifetime.

The four-year-old daughter of A Rocknroll Dance, driven by Matt Kakaley (who had four wins on the card) for trainer Ron Burke, led every call after clearing to the lead before the first quarter in :27. Once in command, Reclamation got to the half in :55.4, sped to ward off first-over challenger Monica Gallagher to the 1:23.2 third quarter, then in the stretch withstood the two mares directly behind her–Clear Idea gained from the pocket but missed by half a length while third-in Sidewalk Dancer fanned wide and finished three-quarter lengths behind Clear Idea.

Reclamation has won all three of her Pocono outings but will have a new challenge in her next start for owners W J Donovan and Donal Murphy as she earned her way out of this classification.

The Somebeachsomewhere mare Attention Hanover had to come uncovered into a :55.1 last half but showed courage to post her first victory of the year with a 1:53 mile in the $14,000 co-featured pace for females. Attention Hanover and driver Simon Allard got by pacesetting Intoview by three-quarter lengths for trainer Steve Salerno, who also shares ownership in the mare with Dean Casaday.

Two more claims on Tuesday, for a total of $39,000, ran the four-card weekly total over the half-million-dollar mark for the first time in the meet. This week $544,500 was paid out for sharp horses from Saturday to Tuesday, raising the meet total well over $4.1 million.
