Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Dec. 22 - Dec. 26

Thursday, December 22

MAGICAL MAJOR (NW1) brushed and crushed in impressive score last time.

NO CONTROL (NW1/2YO) was first to the top, yielded, got shuffled, pulled and brushed to the lead winning by open lengths and will be tough to beat as he goes for another.

STREET GLIDER (NW1) was buried to final turn, slipped out, finished best of all but was third in the photo at over 40-1.

UNBEATABLE KEMP (W2-4) trotter had too far to come but finished strong to just miss. Beaten favorite can atone with better trip.

COME HOME FOR LIFE (NW2) closed well from the back of the pack in latest and bears watching.

Monday, December 26

VICTOR INVICTUS (NW2000) tucked the pocket and was caught in a bad shuffle as the lead changed to the third panel, slipped off the rail into the lane, had traffic, rallied gamely but had too far to come.

PRIVATE SCOTT (CLMHCP15/20000) was outkicked to the lead, settled into the pocket looking strong all the way to the third panel, went quickly to the lead and drew off.

NIGHT CLUB OWNER (CLMHCP22/30000) finished full of pace from 5th over only to get nailed by the late-flying winner.

HP MOMENTUM (CLMHCP22/30000) sat pocket as the leader folded, cleared much too late to make a move and bears watching.
