Newcomers Spice Up Austin Series

Three newcomers will be making things interesting in both divisions of the Mark Austin Pacing Series on Sunday (June 27) at Dresden Raceway.

In the first division Shes A Comedian was the runaway winner last week as the three-year-old Hes Watching filly rolled to a 12-length win in 1:58.1 for Alfie Carroll. This week Stiletto Blue Chip will be her stiffest competition, coming in off a win at Georgian Downs in 1:55. The three-year-old American Ideal filly won by open lengths in Hanover two starts ago in 1:58.3. J.R. Plante will be at the controls for Stiletto Blue Chip.

The second division saw Carroll guide three-year-old Shadow Play gelding Shadow Warrior to victory in 2:00 with a wire-to-wire performance. This week Bigmachwithcheese is a threat, boasting a lifetime mark of 1:56.4 taken last year at Charlottetown. The five-year-old Betterthancheddar gelding can clearly navigate a half-mile track and will have the driving services of regular pilot Dale Spence. Sir Lucknow, a three-year-old Sir Luck gelding, is coming off back-to-back wins at Hanover Raceway and looks for factor for Plante.

First post time for Dresden Raceway's 12-race card is 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. To view the entries, click the following link: Sunday Entries - Dresden Raceway.
