Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Oct. 29, 2018
DARK MISSION
Trainer: Graham Motion
Last race: Oct. 27, 2nd
Finish: second by 3 ¼
Beyer: NA
She closed from fifth and then galloped out quite strongly in her six-furlong debut. The 3-year-old Sam-Son Farm homebred by Medaglia d’Oro will appreciate stretching out in distance.
MY MISS TAPIT
Trainer: Norm McKnight
Last race: Oct. 28, 8th
Finish: 6th by 3 3/4
Beyer: NA
Returning from a five-month layoff, she made up some ground in the stretch of the Grade 3 Ontario Fashion Stakes before galloping out well in a race she seemingly needed.
NORTHERN FERN
Trainer: Ron Sadler
Last race: Oct. 28, 6th
Finish: 2nd by a head
Beyer: NA
She got hung out five wide on the first turn, and then rallied wide from off slow fractions to lose a nail-biter in a $10,000 conditioned claimer. That was her fourth race off the bench, and she could put it all together next time.
