Screen Test Scorches Summerside
On a day of extreme speed, Screen Test found the biggest winning performance of his life with a 1:53.4 romp in the featured pace Sunday afternoon (July 18) at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
In line to Corey MacPherson in the $3,100 Preferred Pace, Screen Test went to the front from post 6 and was unchallenged for the duration of the mile on his way to a seven-length victory for a lifetime best. Power Of A Cruiser was second while Moonwriter was third. Ron Gass trains the winning horse for owners Kickin Horse Stable of York and William Andrew of Alberta.
The Kyles Williams stable was perfect on the afternoon card as the Tyne Valley conditioner sent horses to the gate in three races and won every event. Offshore Cowboy kicked off the action in Race 1 in line to Gilles Barrieau in a 1:59.1 win followed by a 1:59 lifetime best performance by Howmacs Hank (MacPherson) in Race 3. Williams and Barrieau reunited in Race 6 as Ruby Rae Crow had her first career win in 1:59.4.
Barrieau also won with two-year-old Rollwithitharry colt Woodmere Androlli from his own barn in 1:57.2 for the driving triple.
Brian Walsh of Albany had a career moment with his first lifetime training win in Race 4 of the afternoon. Bugtown Superstar supplied the milestone moment with Dowling in the bike as she went all the way in 2:01.1.
Live racing continues Thursday (July 22) and Saturday (July 24) evenings at Red Shores Charlottetown and Sunday afternoon (July 25) at Red Shores Summerside featuring the P.E.I. Colt Stakes for two-year-old pacers and two and three-year-old trotters.
