Flash In The Pang Favoured Sunday

Flash In The Pang will look to avenge his latest narrow loss and establish a new winning streak in the featured event on Sunday (July 19) at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The 11-dash Sunday presentation kicks off at 1:00 p.m., and the $2,700 featured pace field lines up in race 10.

Flash In The Pang is the morning line choice in the field of seven after winning two straight races then being nipped in 1:56.2 in his latest. Ken Murphy will be back in the bike for trainer Molly Murphy and owner Hughie Murphy of Augustine Cove.

Noudidnt Blue Chip comes into the event riding a two-race win streak since relocating back East to the Jonah Moase stable. David Dowling will drive the pacer in his first start since Canada Day in Summerside. Former Maritime Champion Heart And Soul has rail control in the top class with Gilles Barrieau picking up the catch drive behind the George Riley trainee after a trio of top-two finishes for regular driver Walter Cheverie, who is not in action Sunday.

The Backstretch Beat in Sunday’s race program has Flash In The Pang pegged for the top spot. ”This horse has never been better than he is right now. With consistency and speed like that he is hard to go against.”

Completing the field are Varadero Hanover (Dale Spence), Mystery Phil (Adam Merner), Pictonian Storm (Myles Heffernan Sr.) and Jeb (Jason Hughes).

Former stakes star Woodmere Ideal Art will compete in the second-highest class of the day for a $2,250 purse in the eighth race. The five-year-old son of Articulator is likely to be the favourite but he has his work cut out for him from Post 7 in the field of as many. Robert Laffin is back in the race bike for trainer Sifroi Melanson and owner Ultimate Stable of Greater Lakeburn, N.B. Other top entries are Likely To Win (Barrieau) and Vegas Rich (Hughes).
