Gierkink's Woodbine horses to watch for week of July 13

MOON DOGGIE
Trainer: Scott Fairlie
Last race: July 11, 6th
Finish: 5th by 1 1/2
Beyer: 33
He battled for the lead before dropping back and was boxed in through the stretch when he debuted in a five-furlong maiden special weight race for Ontario-sired 2-year-olds. The son of freshman sire Spaniard is well bred on the dam’s side and appears to have some potential.

RIVER MAID
Trainer: Bob Tiller
Last race: July 11, 8th
Finish: 5th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 58
She never had a chance after getting carried out very wide on the turn in her first turf try in the $125,000 Passing Mood Stakes. She’s eligible to rebound when going back to the Polytrack, over which she narrowly lost the Lady Angela Stakes to the good Galina Point.

SUNDOWNER
Trainer: Marty Drexler
Last race: July 8, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 3 3/4
Beyer: 65
He tracked the leaders from a four-wide position on the turn in an even effort against $20,000 non-winners-of-two types. The son of Speightstown possesses tactical speed and could break through next time out off the claim.
