Gierkink: Woodbine horses to watch for week of Sept. 4

Ron Gierkink|Sep 05, 2017

LATONKA
Trainer: Denyse McClachrie
Last race: Sept. 2, 5th
Finish: 1^st by 2 1/4
Beyer: 46
After missing the break, the modestly bred 2-year-old rallied stoutly on the outside to win his six-furlong debut going away. He could be a factor in Ontario-sired stakes company this fall.

DR. HARKNESS
Trainer: Danny Acorn
Last race: Sept. 3, 6^th
Finish: 5^th by 7 1/2
Beyer: 60
After breaking in the air, he lacked running room in the stretch while trying to make his way into contention in a $16,000 claimer. The consistent veteran figures to get back on track next time if things go his way.

JACKS ESCARPMENT
Trainer: Josie Carroll
Last race: Aug. 30, 7th
Finish: 2^nd by 3/4
Beyer: 92
With blinkers on, he ran a corker to finish second to the unstoppable Pink Lloyd in the $125,000 Kenora, a restricted stakes that he won last year. He seems to have snapped out of his slump.
