Two $100,000 Invitationals on Sun Stakes card

Wilkes-Barre, PA — Rick Kane, the Director of Racing at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, would like to remind harness racing horsemen about the $100,000 Invitationals on each gait scheduled during the afternoon $2 million Sun Stakes Saturday card on Aug. 19.

Horsemen are invited to direct any further inquiries as early as possible to Kane at 570.831.2228.

The best and brightest will compete in these complementary races to the top events for the 3-year-olds.

The two colt events, the Earl Beal Memorial Trot and the Max C. Hempt Memorial Pace, will have a top division of $300,000, with entry level to the 3-year-old races based on 2023 earnings, with $200,000 and $100,000 consolations, respectively, for the next highest money earners.

The two filly events, the James Lynch Memorial for pacers and the Delmonica Hanover for trotters, will operate in the same fashion on a $250,000-$125,000-$75,000 purse scale.

As always, there will be no starting fee for the $75,000 levels.
