Keep Coming Favoured At Red Shores

A trio of red-hot horses will lock hooves in the Wednesday night (Aug. 22) top event at Red Shores at Summerside Raceway. The 11-dash program gets underway at 7 p.m. Atlantic time.

Keep Coming is the likely horse to beat in the 10th-race feature, which goes for a $2,300 purse. Marc Campbell gets the driving assignment behind the Brian Andrew trainee fresh off a win in 1:54.1 on Gold Cup and Saucer night at Red Shores Charlottetown. The five-year-old son of Mystery Chase searches for his fifth win of the season for owners Brian and William Andrew.

Machinthesand was in the midst of a hot streak when he was defeated on Gold Cup and Saucer night by a narrow margin. Ken Murphy picks up the drive for trainer Barry Folland from post 1, while the red hot Red Magician leaves from post 6 fresh off two wins in 1:54.3 during Old Home Week racing for driver Adam Merner.

Race analyst Bo Ford thinks Keep Coming is in the right spot to hit the winner’s circle.

“He had a class on Gold Cup Night where he was the one to beat, and he is back at a similar level tonight,” Ford said. “He shows right on his card where he raced the big dance in Summerside and none of his competition have that on their resume.”

Other top class entries include Machinthesand (Dale Spence), Old Buck (Jason Hughes) and Instant Shadow (Norris Rogers).

Also on the program, Soccer Hanover makes his East Coast debut in race nine. The son of Dragon Again has post 8 in the event with Gary Chappell at the lines for owners Leith, Les and Spencer Waite. Soccer Hanover has four lifetime wins, including a mark of 1:57.1 over Hippodrome 3R in Québec.
