Tonight's feature at Woodbine Mohawk Park is set to roll in Race 6, a Preferred Trot with a $34,000 purse. The popular 0.20 Pick 4 starts in Race 4. That sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool which it regularly surpasses, and it will be my focus.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 4
2-Kwicky Kwanzaa-Back in the Shepherd barn and it's wise to respect connections.
4-Badlands Badboy-Sheds the 10-hole and trip should be better, can compete versus this bunch with best try.
5-ER Quinn-Will keep looking for another price, McClure returns, gets post relief and could get an upfront seat.
6-Brickman-Last start was probably best effort since 2-11 sick scratch, and I'll bite at 8-1 in the ML.
Race 5
1-Magic Night-Should like the post draw and has done well since being bought by Team Hensley.
5-St James Gate-Sizzled the last half in .55 after being off 3 weeks, could be sitting on a big try.
6-Fly Beyond-McClure takes a seat and thinking he could work a good trip, looks like a player at this class.
7-Exemplar-Reunites with Roy and should like the company.
Race 6
2-Dunbar Hall-5-yr-old likes to win, came last 1/2 in 54.3, gets post relief and should be sitting on or close to lead.
4-Free Willy Hanover-Will respect off last win, was able to pass horses in the lane unlike others.
7-Musical Rhythm-Tried the engine in last, might switch and follow cover, can take a picture with a good trip.
Race 7
4-Stolen Art-Having a tough time finding the winner's circle, but this is a spot to shine and 1st time Moreau.
5-Dreamfair B J-Will toss last when off 3 weeks, may get on the engine and no excuses tonight on this drop.
