Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Nov. 21
SILHOUETTE
Trainer: Josie Carroll
Last race: Nov. 19, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 59
After awaiting room along the rail over an outside-biased track, she closed nicely to gain second on the wire in her 6 1/2-furlong opener. The daughter of Smart Strike is bred to be a late bloomer and to run long, so she could have a bright future.
HEARD THAT
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Nov. 19, 6th
Finish: 4th by 1 3/4
Beyer: 72
She set the pace along the rail before tiring inside the sixteenth pole on an outside-favoring track in the Glorious Song Stakes. She was softened up in a wicked speed duel when heavily favored the time before in the Fanfreluche Stakes.
THATLOOKONYERFACE
Trainer: Dave Cotey
Last race: Nov. 18, 8th
Finish: 5th by 2 1/2
Beyer: 77
He lacked room at the quarter pole during a wide trip before making up ground in a $25,000 starter allowance. It arguably was his best performance since taking the Grade 3 Marine Stakes in May, and he could get back on track next time if things go his way.
