Mohawk: Horses to watch from Apr. 21 - Apr. 25

Thursday, April 21

GERRIES SPORT (NW2) came uncovered and won convincingly looking like he can take another.

SOUTHWIND MONTY (NW1) rushed to the top, got away on the lead, opened up a bunch of lenghths but tired. Beaten favorite can atone in quick order.

LEGIONOFANGELS (NW1) was parked and used hard challenging the pacesetting odds-on favorite before tiring.

CANADIAN WRITER (CLM12000) was out a long way, challenged hard to the final turn and tired. Beaten favorite will be tougher if he makes the lead.

LAY LADY LAY (NW2FM) left, tucked, pulled uncovered to the third panel, challenged gamely uncovered but was second best to the pacesetting favorite.

HURRICANE HAZEL (NW2) pulled to the third half, tucked around tiring horses, rallied all out but was outfinished by the late closing odds-on favorite.

HOUSE OF TERROR (NW8300) closed from the moon in wide flow through the stretch putting up a wicked :26 3/5 last panel. Do not ignore.
