Default Rough seas ahead for Captaintreacherous in Ben Franklin final

A pair of captains are retiring at the end of their 2014 seasons. While it is hard to compare man to horse, both Derek Jeter and Captaintreacherous have displayed the intangibles and sheer determination ingrained in all winning athletes, human or equine. While Jeter’s athletic prowess has seen better days, the other captain is still in his prime and will look to prove his mettle once again from a difficult outside post in the $500,000 Ben Franklin Free-For-All at Mohegan Sun Pocono Downs on Saturday.

Pocono: Sweet Lou the fastest ever on a five-eighths track

Sweet Lou continued his form spree for catch-driver Ron Pierce in taking down the $500,000 Ben Franklin in a world record 1:47 mile. The five-year-old was put in a rare position of battling stablemates through much of the opening three eighths of the mile.
