Hoosier Park Race 12

Race 12

Stake: $37,179

PRINCE OF HONOR (7) scored by 7 metres at Scioto Downs over 1609m last start, the second win from his past four outings. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat again. PONDA JET (6) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. FLAGMAN (8) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this track over 1609m. TRIATHLON AS (5) last appeared when she got home by 2.25 metres over 1609m at Miami Valley Raceway three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts.
