Frazzleberry was the fastest two-year-old to participate in Wednesday's (July 1) qualifying session at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono by way of a 1:57 mile.
Frazzleberry and driver Chuck Connor Jr. were last early, but the Art Major-Brownsville Bomber freshman paced a :57 last half en route to victory for trainer Janice Connor and the partnership of Joseph Betro, Ian Behar and Kristie Leigh Farm Inc.
An intriguing winner during the morning session was Derailed Hanover, a daughter of Cantab Hall out of the notable mare D Train, who also produced Donato Hanover. The $150,000 yearling let nothing get in her way in a 1:59.4 victory, heading straight for the lead and snapping home in :29.1 for driver Mark MacDonald, trainer Paul Kelley, and the ownership of P K Racing Stable, James Simpson and Thomas Pontone.
