Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from August 25 - August 29

Thursday, August 25

CONTROLTHEDISTANCE (NW1/2YOF) was buried behind a struggling foe surrounded by the weak, rallied late and could get luckier in next race or two.

GRACEFUL MOVES (NW1FM) second choice on the board was in heavy strech traffic and never had the chance to fire her best.

ENOLA (NW1/2YOF) tucked to the quarter, pulled past the half, chased to the lane, ducked in and was second best on the board and on the track to odds-on rated winner.

VERDUN (NW1/2YO) roared home from back of the pack posting a :26 2/5 last panel to nail the win and would be no surprise in next.

HOW THE HELL (NW1) does he not win again?

Friday, August 26

MY MOTHER PEARL (NW2000FM) was uncovered second best to favored pacesetter.

INTOTHEMYSTICMOON (NW3FM) sat to the rear and charged home in very quick last panel and is not to be ignored.

STONEBRIDGE HELIOS (OntSS) prohibitive favorite took some bad steps at the start, settled at the back, rallied strongly to the third panel, challenged and was a solid winner. Should be tough to beat in next outing.

PARISIAN BLUE CHIP (NW15000FM) was parked the mile, challenged all the way with the favorite following her cover and proved gamest and should be able to notch another score in next race or two.

BIG BETTOR HANOVER (NW6000FM) was buried on the rail to the lane, angled off between horses, found a late route and finished fast but ran out of track.

Saturday, August 27

JN JACK OF HEARTS (NW11000) was second over with good finish but was nipped at the wire.

POWERTRAIN (NW20000) was third over behind a empty second-over foe, rallied late but had too far to come.

CONTROL HEAVEN (NW6000) beaten favorite tucked, sat in three hole behing 1-2 stablemates and rallied too late. Can atone with better trip.

WINDSUN TIARA (ETERNAL) was buried to the lane, slipped off the rail, angled out and finished fast but just missed.

Monday, August 29

DREA NATION (NW15000) tucked at the quarter, got buried to the lane, angled out, found a wide route much too late but finished willingly.

CENTURY GIGALO (CLMHCP22/30000) settled in early for the three-hole trip, tipped into the lane but was in between horses locked up to the last steps and would be no surprise in next.

HERESTHATMANAGAIN (CLMHCP22/30000) tucked to the quarter, sat in, slipped out into the lane in some traffic. Seemed to have willing pace but.....Do not ignore in next 'effort'.

RESOLUTE BAY (NW3) went down the road in easy score over a tiring track.

PLAY JET RAY (CLMHCP15/20000) tucked, brushed and crushed and should take another or two.

Tuesday, August 30

LUCKY RASCAL (NW2000) showed early speed, yielded and was totally shuffled out,had trot in the lane but cleared much too late.

LAZZARO (NW2000) was out a long way, rallied as the lead changed numberous times, challenged and won going away. Got claimed and will probably step up but seems sharp enough to give it another try for new connections.

RITSON (NW5000) was parked to the lead and that was about it as he drew off late as much the best.

GREAT GUNS (NW1/2YO) tucked to the quarter, raced second over and closed well at 15-1 to earn second best in the photo to well'bet second favorite.
