The Napolitano brothers, George Jr. and Anthony, added to their 1-2 standings in the 2016 drivers’ victory race at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono Monday night, each winning three races on the 15-race card.
Anthony had the early hot hand, winning with Gurl Band K (3rd), Crazy Smart (5th), and Sure You Are (6th), while George caught fire late and tallied with Black Queen (8th), Charles Ray (11th), and Undercover Beauty (14th). Anthony holds an 11-8 edge for the three cards so far this racing week at Pocono, but for the month of October, George is slightly ahead, 19-17, in the seven cards (99 races) conducted so far.
And there is a driver who has more October wins at Pocono than either George or Anthony! Simon Allard won only once on Monday, with Yolo Hanover (11th), but that victory was his 20th of the month so far – nearly three visits to Victory Lane per card. Among the three, they have taken 56 of the 99 races conducted so far in October at the mountain oval.
