Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from August 24 - August 29

Thursday, August 24

EMOJI HANOVER (NW1/2YOF) bet off the board, raced on the front end and never looked back. Will win some more.

SHEPLAYSFORKEEPS (POPUP/FM) tucked to the quarter, pulled to the half, followed wide passing the third panel, charged home strong to win impressively in the Fillies and Mares final.

MATCHIN A TRICK (POPUP) got away slowly and finished fast up the rail to nail second place in the final.

LIBERTY ROYAL (POPUP) was nowhere to be seen until the lane and then the 3YO closed with huge rally to win by over five lengths.

Friday, August 25

SOUTHWIND CAESAR (NW4000) closed best from 3rd over to earn second place at 13-1 in last outing.

TALK RACY TO ME (NW2) was uncovered and challenged to the last steps in latest effort.

OSCEOLA (OntSS) had a long way to rally as the leader opened up but did just that and won going away with big finish.

INTOTHEMYSTICMOON (NW10150FM) put in a solid front-stepping effort as the second favorite but was nailed by the pocket sitting odds-on favorite.

Saturday, August 26

REMEMBER THE ALAMO (NASSAGAWEYA) finished fast but too late in the 2YO Open and can get it done with better trip.

LINEDRIVE HANOVER (CPD/ELIM) tucked early, brushed, opened up but faltered late and was nailed in the last step.

BETTER B BOLD (W2-4) beaten favorite just missed in the photo with a late charge from 3rd over and can atone in next.

FUNTIME BAYAMA (NASSAGAWEYA) was a handy wire to wire quick-stepping winner in his latest.

BYTHEMISSAL (CPD/ELIM) brushed and crushed in the final quarter in his division.

ALWAYS A THRILL (NASSAGAWEYA) tucked and was shuffled. Got stuck in stretch traffic and bears watching.

Monday, August 28

SCRIVNER HANOVER (OntSS) sat the rail, tipped in the lane, got stuck in traffic, went back to the rail, rallied late and earned a long look in next.

STONEBRIDGE THRILL (OntSS) was 4th over into the lane, wiggled wide and finished strong to just miss.

PASTA BELIGHT (OntSS) was parked the mile, challenged to early stretch before giving way.

MCWICKED TIME (OntSS) was parked, had to go wide to clear a bearing-out leader, took the top and was best in solid wire to wire score.

Tusday, August 29

GLENFIDICH (NW1) left, tucked, sat to the lane, had traffic between horses, slipped wide too late to hit best stride.

THE RIGHT TIME (NW1/2YOF) second choice in the betting tucked, pulled uncovered, rallied to the favored leader, kept coming and was a solid second best.

SPARTAN GENERAL (NW14000) was out the final turn but gapped, got going too late and was gaining at the end. Beaten favorite might get going sooner so do not discard.

WARRAWEE XAIT (W2-4) left from the 10-hole, went down the road to the last steps in gapped effort getting nailed by the late rally of the prohibitive favorite.
