Zeron stars at Wednesday morning qualifiers

WILKES-BARRE PA – Scott Zeron emerged as the star of the Wednesday morning qualifying session at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania with four victorious drives, winning the fastest mile of the day and also with three sophomores trained by Jared Bako.

The quickest clocking came in the very first qualifier and was produced by Zeron and No Tresspassing, a Sweet Lou sophomore gelding and a 1:51.1 winner at two at Pocono. Here the Deborah Daguet trainee No Tresspassing pounced from the pocket to tally in 1:52.3 over Stonebridge Wizard, a Bako pupil who won the Battle Of Waterloo at two.

Zeron/Bako triumphed with the Huntsville filly The Last Martini, who went wire to wire-wire in 1:53.2; the fast distaff earned over a half-million at two, finishing 1-2 in her two Breeders Crown events and also winning her New York Sire Stakes Championship.

The Tactical Landing gelding Top Floor Tactics, who only had one start as a baby, was ready to live up to his name, the three-year-old winning from the two-hole in 1:56.3 for Zeron/Bako. That pairing’s third win came with the Dancin Lou filly Th Cha Cha Cha, a 1:57.4 winner.

Also impressive were the Papi Rob Hanover gelding Waterfront, a Pennsylvania Stallion Series winner at two and also a 1:53.2 winner Wednesday for driver Jason Bartlett and trainer Hunter Oakes, and the Pace Del Rio gelding Eugenio RL IT, unable to stay on the trot in two previous American starts but a parked-the-mile 1:55.3 winner here for driver Matt Kakaley and trainer Travis Alexander.
