The trotters and pacers took their first 2025 spins around the five-eighths-mile oval at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania on Monday morning, Feb. 10.
The conditions were not prime with a “good” track rated at “+1” and later “+2,” but several horses showed they are ready to get the season underway, with the first card scheduled for this Saturday, Feb. 15 at 1 p.m.
Most impressive among the qualifiers was Virgo, an Always A Virgin gelding who concluded a fine 2024 with a 1:50.2 victory on closing day (Dec. 31) at Harrah’s Philadelphia. He looks to extend his form into 2025, and off a front-stepping pacing mile of :30, :58, 1:26.2, and 1:54.1 he seems well on his way to that goal for owners Mark Jakubik and Jason Darling. Virgo was driven by Jim Pantaleano and is trained by Darren Taneyhill, who doubled along with conditioners Lou Pena and Joe Skowyra.
Pantaleano (seventh in the standings at Pocono last year and a two-time winner during this qualifying session) was the only driver outside of 2024’s top five dash-winners to get home first on Monday. Braxten Boyd and Anthony Napolitano each had three triumphs (Napolitano drove the fastest trotter, the Canadian returnee Frank The Elder, who won in 1:57.3 for trainer Deborah Daguet and owner Stephen Klunowski). Meet champion Matt Kakaley had two wins, and Tyler Buter and George Napolitano Jr. each recorded a victory.
A set of six qualifiers was also drawn on Monday to be raced right back at Pocono on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. After this week, qualifiers will be held on Wednesday mornings.
During the busy morning (into afternoon) on the Pocono backstretch. Saturday’s first program of the 2025 campaign was drawn, with those horses…
UNCASVILLE, CT – On Saturday, February 15, Ricky de los Santos (12-1, 3 KOs) defends his WBC US Silver Featherweight Title against unbeaten New England Super Featherweight & Lightweight Champion“King” Kevin Walsh (15-0, 8 KOs).
The pair collide on CES Boxing’s massive ‘Love & War’ card taking place at Mohegan Sun Arena and broadcast live globally on DAZN. Tickets on sale now at CESFights.com, TicketMaster or the Mohegan Sun Arena box office.
At first glance, the fighters have much in common: they have emerged as the top 2 featherweights in the northeast US, each coming off the biggest win of their respective careers last year at Mohegan Sun Arena.
De los Santos won the WBC title against Nathan Martinez via unanimous decision in February, while Walsh dispatched of Irvin Gonzalez in 4 rounds to pick up the New England Super Featherweight title in November. They also proudly represent the fighting New England cities of Brockton, MA (Walsh) and Pawtucket, RI (de los Santos).
The pugilists recently sat down with The Final Bell podcast to discuss a showdown that many believe will steal the show on Saturday night. They showed mutual respect and acknowledged the other’s strengths, but with emotions running high, they also traded a few barbs.
“He’s a tough fighter,” said Walsh when assessing de los Santos. “He’s fast, he’s got skills and good footwork. I’m looking forward to the challenge. These are the moments I live for.”
Walsh had a late start in boxing. The 32-year-old turned pro in 2021 and reeled off 15 victories in only 4 years. 2024 was his best year to date, as the Brockton native fought 5 times and won 2 titles. With each outing, Walsh steadily increased his level of opposition and showed marked improvement, something that’s not lost on de los Santos.
“I know Kevin’s coming to fight,” said the…

• Erik Christensen — Oct. 5, 2005 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 8, Bridgeport Sound Tigers 1)
• J.F. Jacques — Feb. 16, 2007 (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 7, Binghamton Senators 0)

Forward Vasily Ponomarev recorded a hat trick in Wednesday’s game as well while defenseman Filip Kral led all scorers with five points (one goal, four assists) for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (23-10-4-0), which has won three consecutive games.
Goaltender Sergei Murashov made 27 saves to record his first career shutout at the American Hockey League level and boosted his record to 4-0-0.

Julian Lane is aging like a fine wine.
“You ain’t lying,” the battle-tested Lane says with a laugh. “I tell myself that almost every day.”
A true pioneer of bare knuckle fighting, Lane made his promotional debut at BKFC 4 in 2019. Classic battles with iconic fighters like “Platinum” Mike Perry, David “Redneck” Mundell and Thiago “Pitbull” Alves made Lane an instant favorite in the Squared Circle. Although always tenacious and exciting to BKFC fans, Lane struggled to string wins together earlier in his bare knuckle fighting career.
Now, five years since his BKFC debut, the 37-year-old Mansfield, OH product brings an impressive three-fight winning streak into his Main Event showdown with Cameron VanCamp on Saturday, LIVE globally on DAZN from the legendary Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.
The biggest reason for Lane’s recent surge up the rankings, he says, is maturity.
“Less fun and more work,” he offers, smiling. “I’ve been taking my training very seriously. Training harder and just going with the flow, man.”
Lane is in awe of BKFC’s growth in recent years. Hot on the heels of the biggest event in BKFC history — KnuckleMania V on Saturday at the sold-out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia — he’s eager to steal the show at Mohegan Sun. It’s a crucial step in his mission to win the BKFC World Welterweight Championship in 2025.
Lane’s journey hasn’t been easy. He says that fact will make his title reign that much sweeter.
“That’s always been my goal. Every time I fight, I always want to be the best in the world. With what I’ve been through — the ups and the downs — this will show people that anything is possible if you set your mind to it and you work hard,” Lane says.
“The new me is here,”…

January 29 has been a fantastic day for the Indiana Fever and its fanbase.
This is because star guard Kelsey Mitchell has re-signed with the team for the 2025 season. Not only is Mitchell beloved among the Fever’s fanbase because she has been with the team ever since getting drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft by Indiana, but because her backcourt duo alongside Caitlin Clark turned the Fever into one of the WNBA’s most lethal teams in the second half of the 2024 regular season.
Clark already made her opinion about Mitchell re-signing apparent. And during her welcome reception back at Indiana’s arena on Tuesday, Mitchell spoke about how Clark helped convince her to stay.
“I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Mitchell said when addressing the Fever crowd, per an X post from the Fever’s social media account. “Indiana has been my second home since I went pro, so this is the only city I know.
“To see you guys open your arms up to me… that was a big part of me coming back because I got a chance to meet really great people,” she added.
“Then I met one of the greatest people in the world, Caitlin Clark, who just ran the basketball world,” Mitchell said. “I think together, we hope to make you guys proud. We hope to make you guys feel like you’re a part of our success and our journey. And I’m here. Let’s do this.”
“Her legacy continues in an Indiana jersey.” ️
