Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of June 27
KING AND HIS COURT
Trainer: Alex Patykewich
Last race: June 25, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 3
Beyer: 45
He gave the others a four-length head-start while breaking inward from post 1, and then galloped out well after making up ground in a 4 1/2-furlong maiden special dash for Ontario-sired juveniles. It was his second start, and the son of Court Vision should appreciate more ground.
LOOKINGFORANEWHOME
Trainer: Paul Buttigieg
Last race: June 24, 5th
Finish: 3rd by 7 1/4
Beyer: 71
On a very firm turf course, with the temporary rail out in lane 5, he had little chance in a $40,000 sprint that was dominated by a lone front-runner, but managed to salvage third after a wide journey.
