A tight-knit group of aged pacers will contest the Sunday afternoon feature pace at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
First-race post time is 1:00 P.M. for the 12-dash program with the $2,300 featured pace lining up in Race 11.
Mando Fun is the morning line choice but is shouldered the outside post in the six-horse field. Dale Spence drives the pacer for co-owner and trainer Paul Biggar of Tyne Valley and co-owner Donald Callbeck of Kensington. The four-year-old son of Badlands Hanover captured last Sunday's top class but looks to have some tougher competition with Narragansett leaving from Post 2 fresh off a 1:56.2 upset victory in the Thursdayevening feature at Red Shores Charlottetown. Jason 'The Blue Knight' Hughes trains and drives Narragansett for owners Foxyhall Racing of Nova Scotia. Machinthesand can never be counted out and teams up with Norris Rogers this week from Post 5. Other entries include Pictonian Storm (Wade Sorrie), Relleno Hanover (Marc Campbell) and D Bs Rosco (Kenny Arsenault).
The back-up pace hits the track in Race 7 for a $1,700 pot with Instant Shadow seeing some class relief and looking for redemption after making a break and being parked out in his latest start. The Sifroi Melanson trainee leaves the gate from Post 6 with Hughes in the bike for New Brunswick owners Ultimate Stable and Robert Kyle. Rash B Havior is the morning line choice in the event with Campbell picking up the catch-drive for owner-trainer Mike Peters of Emyvale. George (Walter Cheverie) and Chevalier Semalu (Spence) both ride season's best victories into Sunday's race.
Mia Lotta makes her East Coast debut in Race 3 on the card for new trainer and co-owner Phil Desroche of O'Leary and co-owner Abel Arsenault of New Brunswick. Desroche's son, Ryan will steer the four-year-old daughter of Major In Art as she relocates from Hippodrome 3R in Quebec.
The weekend programs also feature the kick-off of the $100,000 Dash For Cash with full contest details, race programs and live video available at RedShores.ca.
