Eagle Jolt To Command Rail In Feature

Published: October 18, 2017 02:57 pm EDT

Early position will be key in the Thursday evening (October 19) feature at Red Shores’ Charlottetown Driving Park.

The 11-race card will get underway at 6:30 p.m., and a pair of featured rivals – that are fresh off of wins at the same level – are set to clash in the evening’s finale.

The $2,100 dash will head postward for Race 11, and it is Eagle Jolt who will look to control the rail for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and owners Wilbur and Marie MacDonald of Orwell Cove. The veteran son of Village Jolt was a winner in 1:56 during his last start at this level.

The Post 6 starter in the contest, Jeb, can also lay claim to a victory against similar in his latest outing. Jason Hughes trains and drives Jeb, who was a 1:57.1 winner last week, but had rail control for that event.

Other Race 11 starters will include Artist List (to be driven by Adam Merner), Oh To Be Me (Gary Chappell), Dial The Bossman (Mark Bradley), Good Luck Kathy (Walter Cheverie), Perfect Escape (Gilles Barrieau) and Keep Coming (Myles Heffernan).

The $1,850 Open Trot (Race 3) will reconvene this week and Freddie will be back in action for the tilt. Campbell trains and drives Freddie for owners Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston. The son of Majestic Son will be looking to start another win streak, as he had his four-race string snapped during his last start. Dusty Lane Jacob, who was victorious in last week's Open Trot with Freddie absent, will host Adam Merner back in the bike for trainer Cindy MacDonald of Montague.
