Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from May 10 - May 14

Thursday, May 10

SENORITA BONITE (NW1) got off slowly, stepped it up to the third quarter, followed the favorite wide and just missed in the last steps.

PEARL BLUE CHIP (NW15000FM) left, tucked, came uncovered, challenged, took a short lead but was outkicked by the tripped-out favorite.

SUMMER TRAVEL (NW2) finished full of pace from the back but too late. Beaten favorite should be tighter in next.

ALBERGO HANOVER (NW1) was a very solid second best to the prohibitive favorite winner in last outing and should win a few here and there.

AMERICAN CHEER (NW6100FM) took a tuck, pulled to the half, worked to the top, met some pressure, shook it off, put in a quick mile but the late closing winner was too much. Should be able to nail a win with similar effort in next race or two.

REIS STAR CROSS (NW6100FM) rallied with an amazing wide rush through the lane to win going away at 25-1 in last and has to be respected.

SIMON SAID (CLMHCP15/18000) finished with good pace between horses in last and should not be ignored.

BETTORS UP (PRF/FM) had to clear traffic trying to rally between horses in the lane but finished well once she found a path. Beaten co-favorite should atone with better trip.

AMMITYVILLE LINDY (NW3000) broke before the start, sat to the rear, rallied strong the last quarter finishing with a huge flurry to nail it late and can take another.

Saturday, May 12

THORN IN YOUR SIDE (NW6300) rushed to the top, set a pressed pace, tired but held gamely and can get it done with easier trip.

MCKINNEY (NW10000) yielded,sat pocket and finished gamely at 34-1 to finish second to the favorite.

NICKLE BAG (NW4000) trailed to the lane, followed wide and closed well but proved second best.

ROCK THIS WAY (NW7) was a game uncovered second best chasing the prohibitive favorite in last and earns a long look in next.

Monday, May 14

NOW WHAT HANOVER (CLMHCP12/15000) tucked to the quarter, pulled uncovered, challenged and closed gamely but was nailed on the wire.

MISSION THREE (NW1) was parked to the lead, set a good clip and drew away looking like a sure repeat winner.

LISVINNIE (CLMHCP18/25000) closed stoutly from 3rd over but was outkicked by a ferocious rally from the late flying winner.

HEY SWEETIE (NW1FM) was badly bothered in the early going, recvoered and rushed up, challenged uncovered a long way and tired. Should get 'er done with better trip.
