Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Dec. 7 - Dec. 11

Thursday, December 7

SOCIAL DISTANCED (NW1) was a handy wire to wire winner in last and can take another.

ULTIMATE LONG SHOT (CLMHCP10/14000FM) beaten favorite brushed to the lead, set a pressed pace and got nailed by the pocket-sitting tripped-out second choice.

E L CITADEL (POPUP) tucked, got shuffled, raced second over at 14-1 and closed well to be second best.

SAVOIR DUHARIS (CLMCHP8/9000) sat to the rear, rallied late and fast to just miss.

Friday, December 8

VELVET STINGER (NW14000FM) was parked a long way to the lead, dug in gamely to the last step losing to the tripped-out pocket-sitting favorite.

SAUBLE ELLIE 9NW1FM) was buried 5-deep on the rail, rallied between horses searching for room and bears watching.

SNOW SHARK (NW4600FM) beaten favorite was 4th over in a poor flow, hit stride late with solid wide finish.

CHELSIS CHOICE (COND/FM) saved and finished strong on the rail passing all but the winner.

TANGLEWILD ROAD (NW4500) trotter finished fast on the outside from nowhere and ran out of track.

Saturday, December 9

LA BARBE (NW2/2-3YO) was parked the mile, challenged to early stretch before folding and could get luckier in next.

DUPREE HANOVER (NW16000) beaten favorite was on the rail and jammed up by multiple lead changes, rallied late and would be no surprise in next.

HIGHLANDBEACHLOVER (NW8000) was third over but got blindswitched in the final turn, rallied wide with good finish and earns a long look in next race or two.

THE GREEK FREAK (NW20000) was nowhere in sight as the leader rolled along on an open lead but rallied wide and late posting a :26 last panel.

Monday, December 11

SNAP TEST (NW14/18000) yielded twice, sat pocket, rallied gamely but was outkicked by the late rush of the longshot winner.

RADIO LAB (NW8000) was first to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, tipped at the third panel, rallied gamely and just missed.

LOCATELLI (NW14000) flashed some good late speed from third over and should not be ignored.

CENTURY JAGUAR (W2-4) crushed foes in wire to wire romp in latest.

CHOREOGRAPHER (CLMHCP10/12000) jogged along and was the easiest of victors in huge rout.
