Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of July 2, 2018
ARMISTICE DAY
Trainer: Barb Minshall
Last race: July 1, 1st
Finish: 1st by 5 1/2
Beyer: 73
He ran to his excellent works in an impressive off-the-pace score at first asking in a five-furlong maiden special. The well-bred 2-year-old colt by Declaration of War appears to possess stakes potential.
IT’S VENGEANCE
Trainer: Roger Attfield
Last race: June 30, 7th
Finish: 6th by 8 1/4
Beyer: 34
She was bet down to favoritism when debuting in a five-furlong maiden special, but lost all chance after getting bounced around like a ping-pong ball at the break. The 2-year-old daughter of Curlin is bred to run on and to be a late bloomer.
FOREST LASS
Trainer: Michael Blake
Last race: June 30, 5th
Finish: 4th by 4
Beyer: 54
She was squeezed at the start and then awaited room on the turn before closing belatedly in her season opener, a race that should set her up nicely for the next one.
