is worth a look now that he has moved to the Moreau barn after finishing a closing fourth in
his Mohawk debut. We don’t mean to belittle the previous trainer as all trainers have to start somewhere,
but this is a game of numbers and Moreau’s numbers are vastly superior to those of the previous trainer
who has a career UTR of .146. And in Next Issue we’re talking about 12-time winner who went 10-for-27
last year, including a win in the \NW5 class at Pocono. He’ll be our first Spot Play of the week.
7 CHEYENNE FORD
might have what it takes to win this one if he’s left alone on the lead. That certainly
wasn’t the case in his last start at Flamboro as he was hounded from the half-mile pole. Two back he made
it close but lost a photo after a great trip in a race where he was even-money.
8 TOMY TERROR
is a logical pick after making front at this same level and leading for all but the last few
strides on 09/14. The AGCO report indicates that he finished with a broken ‘spreader’ which could easily
have made the difference between winning and losing by a neck. He was really fired up in that race and
was on track to pace his fastest mile in some time until the wardrobe malfunction.
6 OUTLAW GUNPOWDER
has won back-to-back at Flamboro with the last win coming Thursday, just
hours
after
he was after he was entered for this race. There’s a chance that someone will shell out $8K for
a 30-time winner and if a claim is entered I would expect him to be driven very aggressively. When he was
claimed from this same trainer on 07/03 he was sent to the top and wound up second as the 4-5 fave.
2 JENKINS CREEK
dropped to this level last week and opted for an inside trip at 2-1. He was in close
quarters through the stretch but under some urging at one point and never what we’d call “running over”
those he trailed. We’d be a little more accommodating had he not given up the lead in two of his four starts.

10th race was my best, just missed the superfecta.

Just practicing.
I've been playing Mohawk, somewhat, consistant for the last three months.
