Wilkes-Barre, PA --- Seven powerful mares hit the track for the Preferred Handicap race at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Friday evening.


George Napolitano Jr. gunned Show Runner (Little Steven–Peace Runner) out of the gate first, followed by Yagonnakissmeornot (The Panderosa-Artstopper), driven by Simon Allard.


Anndrovette (Riverboat King–Easy Miss), picking up a new driver in Andrew McCarthy, at odds of 3-5, went three-wide to soon take over the lead. The fractions were :26.2, :55.3 and 1:23 and the $3 million-plus mare held on for a gutsy win over the fast-charging Yagonnakissmeornot, flying up the rail at the wire, in a final time of 1:50.3. Arodasi (Western Terror–Do Me Justice), with Kevin Wallis picking up the drive, finished third.


Anndrovette, trained by PJ Fraley, now has six wins for the season.


In an earlier race on the card, Krispy Apple (Western Ideal-Apple Krisp) picked up her first win of the season in dominating fashion and posted a new lifetime mark of 1:48.4. The mare is also trained by PJ Fraley and was also driven to victory by Andrew McCarthy.
