Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Dec. 23 - Dec. 27
Thursday, December 23
YOURTHEONE (CLM7500) followed the winner wide and closed well to earn a long look in next.
G A SPEED JOEY (CLM17500) had some traffic problems in last and could surprise with better trip.
MY BABY GIRL (NW3600FM) brushed early, opened up and was on her own to the wire.
SWIFT ALLY (NW6100FM) beaten favorite was parked to the quarter in crowded field over a snowy track, pulled at the half, challenged, had aim but was nailed by late-closing fresher foe and could atone in next.
EQUINOX ANNIE (NW2) was a 3-move winner in last and will be hard to deny in next outing.
Sunday, December 26
HIPPYJOHN (NW3) was nowhere in sight to the lane, finished full of pace much too late but passed a lot of foes and will be tough.
COMMANDING OFFICER (NW6) roared home to win by over six lengths and should take another.
REAL WILLEY (NW8900) yielded, retook and was a handy front-stepping winner in last.
SO MUCH MORE (PRF) finished strong from 3rd over in last and bears watching.
BEYOND BETTER (PRF) closed strongest from 4th over in same contest but had further to come and also should nail a win soon.
Monday, December 27
MELODY MAKER (POPUP) tipped in the final turn, rallied gamely at 42-1 but was nipped by the late-closing winner.
KINKAID SEELSTER (POPUP) was uncovered a long way, chased and tired. Could get luckier in next race or two.
ONLY FOR JUSTICE (NW18000) sat near the rear, rallied wide and late with strong finish and bears watching.
SPARTAN GENERAL (NW18000) winning favorite closed strongly and can take another.
GOLD EDITION (NW6000) beaten favorite closed well from second over but just missed.
