The Sweet Lou-Laura Hill gelding Admiral Hill was one of many winners coming from outside trips on Saturday, March 14 at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania as the six-year-old captured the $37,671 Winners Over Pace as one of three victorious trainees for Per Engblom on the 14-race card.

Finding nobody to provide him cover entering the backstretch after fractions of :27 and :54.4, the millionaire gelding proceeded up uncovered for driver Brett Beckwith. He kept gaining after the 1:23 three-quarters, forged to the lead in early stretch, then withstood the horse on his back, the hard-luck Catalpa Rescue A (Colin Kelly) by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:51. It was the latter's third straight place finish. Chase H Hanover (Anthony Napolitano) was third. Admiral Hill, now 28-for-67 lifetime, is owned by Morrison Racing Stables. He paid $12.80 to win.

Engblom also won with Shoresy ($4) and My Man Peter ($24). His triple widened his lead in the trainers' standings, bringing his seasonal total at the track to 12. He is six wins clear of Ron Burke, Darren Taneyhill and Cote Keim.

There were a trio of $23,973 conditioned co-features for developing horses, one for male pacers and two for trotters. The sidewheelers were topped by the Captaintreacherous-Sweetest Emotion gelding Federer, who initially stayed in then slipped to the second tier, roared wide in the lane, and came from fifth at the stretch call to win in a lifetime best of 1:52.2 for trainer Cory Stratton and El Dorado Stables. Driver Anthony Napolitano completed a quartet of winning steers with Federer.

Matching Napolitano with four sulky successes is the only driver ahead of him early in the 2026 standings, last year’s top dash-winner Tyler Buter, whose four-bagger included taking both of the top trots. The quicker of the pair of spotlight races for diamongaiters went to the Gimpanzee-Winndevie mare Winnpanzee, who found second-over cover in her seasonal debut, then was strongest late in 1:55.2. Ron Burke, leading trainer at Pocono four of the last five years, conditions the trotter for Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Brad Grant.

Buter also guided the winner of the other top trot, the aforementioned Shoresy, with the pilot again finding the second-over trip for a 1:57.1 tally. The son of Cantab Hall-Hs Carry On has now taken his last four starts for Timothy Betts and Shanamphilankilou Inc.

The top race on Monday’s 1 p.m. card at Pocono will be a $25,000 USD contest for top distaff pacers. Bettors will find carryovers going into the first-race Pick 4 and the fifth-race Pick 5.
