Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from Nov. 28 - Dec. 1

Friday, November 28

NO ONE (NW1000) brushed early, opened up to five lengths held sway safely safely, got claimed and should give it another try in next.

JOHNNY BUCKSHOT (POPUP) tucked, got shuffled and brushed to the lead, held strongly as much the best in speedy effort.

TALK SHOW HOST (NW1000) was parked a long way to the lead, met last-quarter pressure and tired. A better post should help the trotter improve and would be no surprise.

SORCHA SEELSTER (NW9500FM) closed well from second over at 13-1 and was second to her pacesetting odds-on stablemate.

PHOENIX (NW2600) beaten favorite tucked twice and dug in but was nailed by the bolt of lightning closing winner.

Saturday, November 29

EARLY ACTION (CLMHCP30/40000) was parked to the half gaining the lead, set a pressed pace and was best in game effort. Got claimed again and should give it his best effort again.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (CLMHCP30/40000) challenged the even-money favorite above but was second best in good effort and bears watching.

PREMIER FIRST START (NW3750) got away well, got shuffled back and was buried into the lane, found room between horses and closed well to earn a look in next.

FREIGHT DAYS AWEEK (NW2) sat last to the lane, went wide, hit stride mid lane and got up for 4th place paycheck passing numerous foes.

LEGION SEELSTER (NW6000) tucked at the quarter, pulled uncovered to the third call, challenged the odds-on favorite but was second best at nearly 28-1.

BLUE HUNT (NW9000) was on the lead past the quarter, set a good clip and was a quick winner under some urging. Odds-on winner should be the one to beat again.

Sunday, November 30

DOC HOUSTON (POPUP) yielded, got shuffled, made a long move to regain the lead, met pressure, dug in at 15-1 but was second to the late-closing second-over second favorite.

CHEDDAR BAY (POPUP) finished full of pace from the back of the pack to get up for second and has to be considered in next.

LARCENY (POPUP) was on the rim a long way, challenged to the final turn before packing it in and should get a win soon.

MAJOR HILL (POPUP) sat last, rallied strong and was third at over 40-1 in latest.

WILLOWTIME (NW9000) was parked the mile third over and finished well despite the trip.

HF PANS SHADOW (CLMHCP18/24000) tucked pocket, pulled the final turn and rolled by easily. Got claimed and should come out ready to roll in next.

Monday, December 1

MOVING ON OVER (CLM20000) went down the road to the lane, tired. Got claimed and should be in line for a win soon.

WICKED EXPRESS (CLM20000) well-bet favorite took the lead, yielded to a retake by the second choice, tipped into the lane and cruised by winning by four.

THE GOVERNOR (NW2) tucked early, sat to the lane, rallied and closed in late.

PUSH TO START (NW1) second choice on the board tucked passing the quarter, pulled nearing the half, rallied up, challenged the favorite but was second in the photo.

DIAMOND BANK (NW1) was third over behind a weak foe, rallied wide and late closing best of all and deserves a look.
