Sixteen Mikes and Ray Hall completed sweeps of the preliminary legs of the Bobby Weiss Series on Sunday night at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

There were three divisions held to make up the third leg of the Weiss Series for three and four-year-old colts, stallions, and geldings on the trot, each of which carried a purse of $15,000.

Bob Key's homebred Sixteen Mikes (American Mike-Sweetsixteenkarets), driven by Mike Simons and trained by Gail Wrubel, pounced from the pocket in his split to move to three-for-three in the series with a win in a career-best 1:55.1.

Ray Hall (Justice Hall-Comebyrail), with Tim Tetrick in the bike for trainer Mark Harder, completed his sweep with a big move on the last turn to set his career mark of 1:54. He is owned by Bruce and Patricia Soulsby and the Wall Bros Stable.

In the final division, Mustodian (Muscles Yankee-Madison County), driven by Matt Kakaley and trained by Kent Sherman for Betty Sherman, rallied in the final strides to score in a career-best 1:55.3.
