Wilkes Barre, PA --- Walk The Walk, a son of Muscle Hill, emerged as the only horse competing in Bobby Weiss Series action to take a second straight win in the $15,000 Tuesday (March 31) preliminaries, two for trotting males and two for pacing females, at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. 

 

Last week’s first round trotting male winners, Walk The Walk and Two Hip Dip, were matched in one division and Walk The Walk maintained his perfect record in the series by winning Tuesday in 1:55.2 on a cold night and a sloppy racetrack.

 

Last week Walk The Walk was well in front when he made a break nearing the wire, so in the interim trainer Chris Ryder qualified him with trotting hobbles and this week Walk The Walk was errorless. He made an early move to command and then stepped home in :57 to defeat Raise The Curtain, with Two Hip Dip third after a first-over trip.

 

David Miller, who drove both winners last week, stayed with Walk The Walk and the horse repaid that confidence in tallying for the ownership of Ryder, Sidney Korn, Robert Mondillo and Max Wernick. 

 

Bourbon Bay, third last week in snapping a six-race win skein, bounced back to his winning ways, going a tick faster than the other trotting cut in winning by open lengths in 1:55.1. The Sand Vic gelding is trained by Megan Wilson for driver/owner John Cummings Jr.

 

Thebeachnextdoor dashed the hopes of a repeat Weiss win for Life Is A Beach and Crescent City, both nose winners last week, by taking a personal mark of 1:53.4 in one leg of the female pacing competition.

 

Jim Morrill Jr., behind his fourth winner of the night, guided the daughter of Somebeachsomewhere to a wire-to-wire triumph, with last week’s winners finishing two-three, respectively. The Brewer Adams-trained mare is owned by Adams Racing LLC and Brian Clark.

 

Allthatjazz De Vie couldn’t be a repeat winner because Tuesday’s other division for females was her first start of the year, but she won her Weiss debut by personally coming home in :56.3 to win in 1:54.4 over Hollyrocker. Andrew McCarthy sat behind the sophomore daughter of American Ideal, now five for seven lifetime, for the familiar pairing of trainer Ron Burke and the ownership combine of Burke Racing and Weaver Bruscemi.
