Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Feb. 27 - Mar. 2

Friday, February 27

WESTERN WISH (NW9000FM) went down the road to the last step at 10-1 getting nailed by the late-closing favorite. Barn is always alive so don't ignore this veteran mare.

MADAM X (NW6700FM) let the speed settled, brushed and was much the best.

KELLINA DIAMOND (POPUP) yielded, retook and buried her foes easily.

BEACH WIGGLE (NW2FM) went down the road as the odds-on favorite, succumbed to her stablemate's challenge and weakened. Atonement is right around the corner.

DAY OF DELIGHT (NW2FM) tucked early, raced second over the final turn with good finish and deserves a long look in next.

MADRID A (NW2500) was second over at 22-1 to her well-bet stablemate and closed well to be second best to the winning favorite.

Saturday, February 28

LOUS WORLD (OPEN) slipped out into the lane with strong finish and was a solid second at 18-1 to the odds-on favorite.

POSEIDEN SEELSTER (OPEN) was third over in a weak flow, rallied wide and closed strong at 28-1 in same race.

ALWAYS B SWEETEST (CLMHCP12/16000) was parked to the lead on the snowy night, met pressure the last quarter and gutted it out. Got claimed and will be giving it his all again.

JJ XAVIER (CLMHCP30/40000) came uncovered, rallied strong and won going away and should be tough to hold off in next.

GINGER TREE FINNY (NW6000) tucked early, got shuffled, brushed, yielded and won going away in three-move score

Sunday, March 1

CHIC CHOC ROSE (NW12750) had a quick lead, yielded and was shuffled, closed well at 21-1 to be second best to her front-stepping odds-on favored stablemate who was the only pacesetting winner on the card.

NEW RULES (NW12750) was the front-stepping winner mentioned above and deserves his own look having been the lone pacesetter to win on the night.

WINCHESTER PHOENIX (POPUP) sat buried to the lane, angled off the rail, slipped wide, finished strong and just missed.

MR BLUEBIRD (OPEN) went down the road to the last step. Beaten favorite gets one more look in next.

THAI TOUR (POPUP) pulled past the quarter, challenged, had aim in game effort but was nailed on the wire.

EXOTIC SAND (CLMLHCP18/24000) three-move winner was claimed and will be hard to hold off in next.

Monday, March 2

JIMMY WHISPERS (CLM20000) rallied third over the final turn, closed a gap, came wide and finished strong.

DIVINE LOVE (NW1) rushed up uncovered, challenged, pulled away and was all wrapped up.

CAPITALIST (NW2) rallied wide from third over and motored home quickly to just miss in three-horse photo at odds of 34-1.

JACK WICK (CLM20000) was parked to the lead, met pressure every step of the way and tired. A better trip could make for a better result.

JUST BUSINESS (NW1) went to the lead, yielded, sat pocket, rallied the final turn and won going away.
