CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – A strong Fillies & Mares event is the penultimate dash of the Tuesday evening program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Post time is set for 6 P.M., with 12-dashes on top also featuring the Open Trot and a PEISHOA Pace as part of a full midweek offering.
The spotlight shines brightest in race 11, a $4,450 Fillies & Mares pace where Acefortyfour Dome gets the rail with Jason Hughes driving for trainer Ashley Gamester. The Up The Credit mare has been sharp in recent outings but has not scored a win in recent months and draws ideally to control the race from the outset. Therealprincess is a major threat from post 2 for Gilles Barrieau and trainer Ron Matheson while Shake N Blake lines up from post 3 with Ken Murphy as part of a stable entry for Jennifer Doyle that includes Lady Devine (To be driven by David Dowling) from post 4.
Windemere Saddy (Marc Campbell) round out a deep field for trainer Saul Lanigan after winning her last two races. Driver Campbell currently sits $2,468 shy of $10-million in career earnings heading into Tuesday’s program.
The Post Time Picks take Therealprincess in the win position.
“Therealprincess raced great since relocating to the Island and does have a couple of wins on her card. Draws an inside post this week and Barrieau will have her well spotted from the word go so she’s on top of the podium.”
The Open Trot takes centre stage in race 8 for a $4,200 purse. Buckhead Ridge (Marc Campbell) is the favourite from post 5 from the Landon Campbell barn for owner Brady Doyle with a three-race win steak on the line. Other top challengers include Fight Song (Hughes) from post 6, Whole Nother (Colin Sheppard) from post 2 and New Legacy (David Dowling) with rail control.
Race 1 kicks off the card with the $3,150 PEISHOA Pace for maiden pacers. Nobel Hanover starts from the rail with Brady Sweet listed to drive for trainer Jeff Holmes and owner Tommy Collings after a narrow lose in his latest. JJ Leona (Corey MacPherson) was victorious that day and is back in the class from post 5 for trainer Joe Baxter.
