Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Aug. 22
BUTTON DOWN
Trainer: Josie Carroll
Last race: Aug. 21, 7th
Finish: 4th by 4 1/4
Beyer: 95
She had a troubled trip for the second straight time in a Grade 2 stakes against the boys in the Sky Classic. The European import should be a factor against her own sex next month in the Grade 2 Canadian, in which she finished a close second last year.
KNOWITALL
Trainer: Steve Attard
Last race: Aug. 17, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 3 1/4
Beyer: 73
After getting bumped at the break, he took the long way home while closing nicely over a speed-favoring track in a $20,000 claimer.
CONQUEST ECLIPSE
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Aug. 19, 4th
Finish: 8th by 7
Beyer: 72
She was blocked behind rivals along the inside in the stretch before flattening out in her first outing in a year and her turf debut in a second-level optional claimer. The daughter of Malibu Moon is probably at her best on dirt and synthetics.
