Woodbine Harness: Horses to watch from Jan. 11 - Jan . 15

Thursday, January 11

FRENCH BASTILLE (NW2) was a no-sweat wire-to-wire winner moving into winning barn and should take another or two.

DEADLY ACTION (CLMHCP8/10000) was parked the mile, challenged the mile and tired but missed by less than one at over 30-1.

WINNING LYRIC (NW3) was off to a sloppy start, took to the rear, rallied the last turn, went wide, took a short lead, gutted it out but tired. Should get a win soon enough.

JK LOCKERUP (NW1FM) rushed up with cover, came wide heading home and rolled away in convincing score.

Friday, January 12

EMMA IVY (CLM15000FM) absolutely romped in front end laugher and will be hard to beat.

V STRING (NW3000FM) went to the top, yielded, sat pocket and was second best both on the board and on the track.

E R RHONDA (CLMHCP8/10000FM) was third over and badly bothered, lost a ton of lengths and momentum, settled,rallied back with strong finish and should not be ignored.

DOCS SAUSLITO (CLMHCP8/10000FM) was trailing to the third panel and trailing badly, rallied well and should be along in time soon.

Saturday, January 13

MACH CODE (NW34000) was on the rail in traffic and closed gamely between horses. Will be more dangerous with better trip.

CAROLINA CHERRY (NW3FM) went down the road, faced some pressure to the third panel, shook it off and was much the best.

FOUR CARD MAJOR (CLMHCP18/25000) was parked to the lead, yielded, sat pocket, pulled to the third panel uncovered and closed strong to win going away and should be able to take another.

FANCOURT (NW14000) beaten favorite tipped to the third panel from trailing position in short field, rallied gamely between horses but it was too late. Can atone with earlier move.

Monday, January 15

KENDRAS COCO (NW2) was parked with cover, brushed wide in the final turn, loomed heading home but was second best to the fast-finishing favorite.

YOU SAID IT (NW2) rushed up uncovered challenged and took the lead into the lane on a snowy, snowy and tired. Same move gets him the win most times.

THE POWER OF MANY (CLMHCP12/15000) tucked, sat pocket in tight quarters and broke in the lane.

MISTER HERBIE (NW25000) was parked to the lead, met early pressure, got away and was as handy a winner as one can expect over a snowy track.
