Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of May 30

Ron Gierkink|May 30, 2016

FLORIDA WON
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: May 28, 8th
Finish: 4th by 9
Beyer: 83
He stalked a sleepy pace set by the eventual winner Are You Kidding Me before tiring in his first start in nearly seven months in the Grade 2 Eclipse. It's the multiple stakes winner’s first race as a gelding, and it should set him up nicely for the next one.

NORQUAY
Trainer: Sam DiPasquale
Last race: May 28, 4th
Finish: 1st by neck
Beyer: 73
With blinkers off, the classy mare looked rejuvenated off the bargain $20,000 claim. She got stopped cold in the lane while in the midst of her rally, and then kicked in strongly to prevail after finding clear sailing on the outside.

LIONS BAY
Trainer: Jamie Attard
Last race: May 27, 7th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 73
His turf record is mediocre and he wants to go long, but he managed to rally belatedly behind three classy rivals in a tough $40,000 grass sprint in his season opener.
