Hoosier Park has a 15-race card remembering Pompano Park, the Winter Capital of harness racing. The south Florida 5/8's oval was located in Pompano Beach. It opened on February 4, 1964, and despite growing in popularity in the years leading up to its closure, the final race went off on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022. Due to legislative changes, Caesars Entertainment was able to decouple the casino operations from live horse racing. The headliners tonight are 3-year-old males and 3-year-old fillies that will be battling for a share of $50,000 purses.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 5 (7:02 PM EST)

5-Odds On Bullfrog (3-1)-The Ian Moore 3-year-old made its Hoosier Park debut a winning one on 11/6. Went gate to wire after shipping in from Woodbine Mohawk Park. Beat 5 from this field last week and with a similar performance could double up. Has been on a win every other start over the last 6 races and will look for that to change here. Will need to down the 2-1 morning line chalk Swiss Lights who starts from post 9. That starting spot will be a challenge but has won 2 of the last 3 since going on Lasix. Joey Putnam is a new set of hands and that should help the price. The son of Bulldog Hanover has the gate speed to get the jump on this field again.

5-9-4

Race 9 (8:34 PM EST)

7-Ponda Executive (5-1)-Form was so-so before shipping to DTN but the change of scenery seemed to put a charge into the 6-year-old. Rolled by a few foes in the late going to come 3rd after being 10 lengths back at the half pole in last. Did beat the $40k claimers 2 back with a 27.1 last panel. Will look for Marcus Miller to leave for a better seat and to be in striking range at a square price turning for the wire.

7-4-8

Race 10 (8:57 PM EST)

5-Imperative (7/2)-Came a good 2nd against this type in its Hoosier Park debut. This will be the 2nd start in the Ron Burke barn and comes back against the same group. Will look for John DeLong to get rolling on the backside and has a nose for the wire. Should offer a square price and could be better with a start on this oval.

5-3-2
