Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Sept. 10, 2018

LADIES NIGHT
Trainer: Gail Cox
Last race: Sept. 8, 8th
Finish: 6th by 8 1/4
Beyer: 69
Normally a front-runner, she raced in mid-pack and lacked room on the far turn in the slow-paced La Lorgnette Stakes.

DERBY REBEL
Trainer: Abraham Katryan
Last race: Sept. 9, 10th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 57
She got away slowly and was blocked behind rivals on the far turn before closing for second behind a razor-sharp winner.

GIADA VEGAS
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Sept. 9, 8th
Finish: 7th by 9 1/4
Beyer: 72
She missed the break before racing four wide all the way in the Belle Mahone Stakes. That was the stakes winner’s first start in nearly seven months, and it should set her up for an improved performance.
