Mohawk: Horses to watch from June 1 to June 5
Thursday, June 1
JAYDENS PLACE (NW1) second favorite came strong uncovered, challenged, had aim but was outkicked by the late closing favorite.
OHO DIAMOND (NW8000) was totally wrapped up through the lane in a front-stepping score in last.
EXEMPLAR (NW8000) finished full of trot from far away in last and was a well bet second on the board and on the track.
BURNIN MONEY (NW4000) was in the pocket but got shuffled in the final turn, rallied with good trot once into the lane. Beaten favorite can atone in next race or two.

PAR INTENDED (CLMHCP15/25000) finished strong and game in last to be second best. Got claimed and will have to given a long look in next.
