Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Apr 12 - Apr. 16

Thursday, April 12

ILLUSIONEESTA (NW1) rushed up with cover and closed well but was second best in the final tally. Beaten favorite can atone in quick order.

KUIL DEVA (NW2) closed well after escaping traffic but had too far to come.

SICARIO (NW3) brushed wickedly to the lead opening up a big lead but ran out of gas. Should get it done with that move in next.

BEACHIN LINDY (NW2) was a much the best wire to wire winner in last and will win a few more.

Friday, April 13

GLANCEWITHME (NW3FM) was uncovered, challenged and never went away but just missed to the odds-on favorite.

EXHILARATED (PRF/FM) sat in and freed too late but finished full of pace.

HIGHLAND TOP HILL (NW15000FM) closed strong and game but just missed the pacesetting favorite.

SODWANA BAY (CLMHCP12/15000FM) was parked to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, came uncovered, challenged and took the lead in the lane but tired. Should be tighter in next.

Monday, April 16

BUDDHA BLUE CHIP (CLMHCP8/10000) tucked to the pocket, rallied gamely in between horses through the lane but was second best to the strong finish of the odds-on favorite.

TERRA COTTA LAD (PURSELESSTHAN8000) came uncovered at 9-1, challenged the pacesetting favorite, wore him down but was outkicked by the second-over horse.

ASA READY TO GLIDE (NW2) rallied strong uncovered to the top and drew off easily. Odds-on favorite should take another race or two.

LIVELY FREDDIE (CLMHCP12/18000) sat buried to the lane, cleared late and closed well. Can get luckier and take down a win in next race or two.
