WILKES-BARRE, PA – The Nob Hill High gelding Nob Hill Flash completed a sweep of his Game Of Claims series action for $15,000 base-tagged pacers Monday (March 25) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, tacking on a 1:52 harness racing victory in his $20,000 Championship event after winning in each of his preliminaries.

Nob Hill Flash, the 50-cent favorite, moved from third from driver Anthony Napolitano nearing the :27.2 quarter, but Play Jet Ray pulled the pocket in front of him and went around early leader Aerosmith Hanover, with Nob Hill Flash refilling his own hole.

Just past the :55.4 half, the “Flash” flashed out uncovered and battled with Play Ray Jet the rest of the way, past a 1:23.3 three-quarters and through the lane until finally gaining the advantage as he won by a neck.

Owner Karen Taylor and trainer Pierre Paradis, who took over the horse after his first prelim win, won the second with him but then lost him to another claim, wound up winning the crucial game of musical claiming chairs last week when reacquiring him, and saw the game pacer garner the lion’s share of the Championship purse.

Despite being claimed every prelim week, Anthony Napolitano, top driver on the day with a quartet of triumphs, guided Nob Hill Flash in all four of his GOC wins.

NOB HILL FLASH REPLAY

The $7500 base-priced pacers went their $15,000 Championship race on Monday as well, and Hashtag Money (Sunshine Beach), who had won his two previous starts but had to overcome the outside post eight, made it look easy with a coast-to-coast win in 1:52.3, a new mark, while returning a big $81.40 mutuel.

Throughout the past several weeks, Avenged Sevenfold have been kicking it on the road for the third leg of their tour supporting their latest album, Life Is But A Dream. Joining the group on this part of the tour is dubstep Metal artist Sullivan King and dark pop singer Poppy – a unique pairing to say the least. Last Thursday, the three bands took to the stage at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

Avenged Sevenfold

Multi-platinum Heavy Metal band Avenged Sevenfold hit the stage a few minutes after 9 PM. Vocalist M. Shadows, wearing a black ski mask, takes a seat in a chair centre stage. The group begins their set with Game Over, the first track on their latest album, Life Is But A Dream.

After nearly seven years without a new release, A7X came back with a vengeance with this record. Avenged Sevenfold certainly showed it off on the stage, performing about half of the album throughout their live show.Avenged Sevenfold – Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville – 21 March 2024.

Talking to a few longtime fans before the show, it seems many people were not fond of the experimental route the band had taken with the record. But during the live performance of their new material, the audience seemed just as hype.

After a couple of new tunes, Avenged Sevenfold moved into a few bigger hits, Afterlife and Hail To The King. The audience…

In the New England part of Connecticut, which is known for its long history, beautiful fall foliage, and maritime heritage, the casino industry is a unique part of the state’s economic and cultural identity. Despite being home to two of the largest casino resorts in the world, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun, Connecticut has maintained a relatively conservative stance towards the expansion of casino gambling within its borders.

This limited number raises curiosity among many, especially in an era when people are starting to talk about the possibility of a Connecticut online casino in the future. This restraint raises intriguing questions about the underlying factors that limit the presence of casinos in the state.

As we explore why Connecticut has maintained such a unique approach to casino gambling, we’ll examine the impact of tribal compacts, state regulations, and more in this article below.

Legendary metal band Mötley Crüe is returning to Connecticut and ready to rock the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena on Aug. 31, according to a release from Mohegan Sun.

It’s the 1980s metal band’s first show in the state since its “Final Tour” of 2015, though the band regrouped several years ago and did major tours in 2022 and 2023.

Three original members are still with the band, including bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and vocalist Vince Neil. Since 2022, Mötley Crüe’s guitarist has been John 5 (formerly with Rob Zombie’s band), who was brought in following the retirement of founding guitarist Mick Mars.

While the arena is promoting the show as “a night filled with their greatest hits,” it has been reported that Mötley Crüe has recently been working on new recordings. A new album would be the band’s 10th, and their first since “Saints of Los Angeles” in 2008. Some new songs were released as recently as 2019, as part of the soundtrack for “The Dirt,” the popular 2019 Netflix movie about the band based on a bestselling book released in 2001.

Mötley Crüe was formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s and has broken up more than once. A 2014 tour was announced as the band’s last and included an agreement that no member of the band could tour under the name Mötley Crüe after 2015. The final show, on Dec. 31, 2015, was released as a concert film titled “The End.” The so-called “Final Tour” stopped in Connecticut three times in October 2014 and August 2015 at Mohegan Sun Arena, then in October 2015 at Webster Bank Arena (now Total Mortgage Arena) in Bridgeport.

The retirement did not last long, with a reunion tour announced for 2020, though it ended up not happening until…
