The Power Plays on opening day at Pocono gave single-race exotic bettors horses on their tickets but the Pick 3 was empty of winners.
In leg one we had the place with Revelry ($2.40, $2.20), while Texas Terror N (8-1) paced home fourth to a 5-1 winner.
In leg two, the race favorite won and both of our choices, Janaid and Bye Bye John, at 11-1, finished seventh and fifth, respectively.
Completing the stream, an 11-1 winner was accompanied by our two choices, Mississippi Rabbit ($2.40, $2.10) and Iammrbrightside N ($4.20).
