Gierkink's Woodbine horses to watch for week of June 16
MISS MISCHIEF
Trainer: Dale Capuano
Last race: June 13, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 3/4
Beyer: 84
She was delayed in traffic before closing steadily in the 1 1/16-mile Trillium Stakes. The Presque Isle Downs-based stakes winner should be poised for a peak performance next time in the third start of her form cycle.
EZZTHETIC
Trainer: Norm McKnight
Last race: June 13, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 60
Following a fade job around two turns, he rebounded in a seven-furlong conditioned claimer in which he lacked room along the inside before closing wide from off slow fractions.
GREEN DOCTOR
Trainer: John LeBlanc Jr.
Last race: June 14, 4th
Finish: 4th by 5
Beyer: 73
She prevailed in a front-end battle before opening up a clear lead in the stretch and then weakened in the final sixteenth in the 6 1/2-furlong Alywow Stakes. It was the stakes winner’s second outing of the year, and it should set her up nicely for the next one.
