CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – The Preferred 1 PEISHOA Pace takes centre stage Saturday afternoon at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park and all signs point to Bee Two Bee as the one to beat.
The 14-dash card kicks off at 12:30 P.M., and will also feature a Santa Vs. The Grinch Match-Race after race 6 of the afternoon, also presented by the PEISHOA.
The $5,500 PEISHOA feature is slotted as race 13 on the program as Bee Two Bee leaves from post 4 with Jason Hughes in the bike for trainer Ashley Gamester. The eight-year-old son of Sunshine Beach has been razor sharp of late, stringing together three straight victories and winning four of his last six starts while showing versatility that makes him dangerous off any trip for owners Blair MacLauchlan and Donald MacRae.
House Edge Hanover (To be driven by Gilles Barrieau) draws the rail and is a major player from the Ron Matheson barn while stablemate TH Boomtown (Corey MacPherson) holds downs post 2. Brookdale Johnny (Paul Langille) lines up from post 3 for the Phil Sizer barn and Merigo Magic (Adam Merner) gets post 5 after winning his last two outings.
The Post Time Picks are firmly planted on the Gamester trained Bee Two Bee.
“Bee Two Bee has four wins in his last six starts and comes into this race riding a three-race winning streak. He has won on the front and from off the pace, so I expect him to dominate again today.”
Earlier on the card, race 5 features the Steamatic PEI Restoration Professionals Pace and Georges Credit gets top billing from post 2 with Paul Langille in the seat for owner-trainer Phil Kelly of Emyvale. Newcomer Uriel Blue Chip (David Dowling) will look for redemption after making a break as the favourite in his Island debut last week. Leavin Bruises (Ken Murphy) is another top selection from post 5 for trainer Basil Hunter.
