Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from January 2 - January 6

Thursday, January 2

ALLSMOKEANDMIRRORS (POPUP) was parked to the lead, yielded for the pocket, tipped the final turn second over and won going away.

LILLY CLARE (POPUP) rushed up the third panel, went wide as other pulled, finished well and was second best at nearly 14-1.

GOLDEN LEADER (CLMHCO8/11000FM) won again and was claimed. Should come out firing again.

JIMMY WHISPERS (POPUP) rallied the final turn, wheeled widest and passed a bunch of foes.

TREASURES WATCHING (POPUP) sat last enjoying the view until the final turn, rallied wide with good finish and should be tighter in next race or two.

Friday, January 3

OH A LEGEND (NW3FM) rallied the final turn, tucked the pocket, rallied gamely and just missed the pacesetting odds-on favorite.

NEVERLOSE FELIZ (NW1) 3YO brushed to the half, took the lead and was an easy winner.

MUSCLE BRANCH (NW1) 3YO had poor cover but closed well to be second best to the top one and bears watching.

TINY BUT MIGHTY (NW1FM) tucked early, rallied late and just missed the prohibitive favorite.

BEWTTERNOTMACHME (NW4000FM) left to the top, yielded to the favorite, sat pocket second best on the board and on the track.

Saturday, January 4

WILLIE B (NW1/3YO) had the early pocket, got shuffled, pulled past the half, tucked the pocket by the third panel and was second best to the late-closing favorite in good effort.

PIEPWRENCH CHARLIE (NW18000) sat last to the lane, hit the engine and closed well to earn another look.

KOLDY TWO STEP (NW4550) tucked early, raced second over and closed with good pace to be up for 2nd and deserves a look with better post.

R J RINGO (NW2) wired the field easily but did drift badly. Should fix the problem and should win again.

STEELWHEEL HANOVER (NW21000) sat to the final turn, tipped out at nearly 10-1, finished with good pace to be second to the favorite and could get it done in next.

Monday, January 6

SATURDAY (NW4000) went down the road to the last steps in last. Got claimed and should not be ignored.

MY HOLY MOLEY (POPUP) sat pocket and rolled by to win going away in latest.

BUCK HANOVER (NW2500) tucked, let the speed settle, brushed and was a handy front-stepping winner.

RAYS CREDIT (CLMHCP12/16000) was third over the final turn, rallied gamely and got up for 2nd.

HEY RALPHIE (POPUP) closed well from 4th over and could get it done with better trip.

NEW RULES (NW17000) trotter tucked, sat pocket and blew by the tiring leader. Will be hard to deny seeking a repeat.
