Ron Gierkink's Woodbine Horses to Watch for April 13

Ron Gierkink|Apr 13, 2015

ASSAIL

Trainer: Ian Howard
Last race: April 12, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 60
She mounted a wide rally on her left lead over a speed-favoring track at first asking in a five-furlong maiden special for 3-year-old fillies. The daughter of the recently deceased speed sire Wildcat Heir should be better for the experience.

TIGER HALL

Trainer: Bill Tharrenos
Last race: April 12, 7th
Finish: 5th by 6 1/2
Beyer: 45
He was shuffled back in traffic toward the inside before making a mild wide bid in a five-furlong dash for $10,000 maidens. The two-turn expert could break through on the stretchout to a long sprint or a route next time in his second start for a live barn.

JACKS ESCARPMENT

Trainer: Nick Gonzalez
Last race: April 11, 8th
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 86
He was unbeaten heading into the Woodstock Stakes, in which he outran the other speed while setting a lively pace before giving way grudgingly to a sharp Kentucky shipper. The son of successful Ontario sire Old Forester should be a force in restricted stakes this year.
