Top Pacers To Clash In Charlottetown
A top notch group of aged pacers will battle for supremacy Saturday (August 28) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 12-dash Saturday card has a 6:00 p.m. opening post time with Bugsy Maguire the top choice in Race 11's Preferred Pace. Adam Merner gets the call on the rail-sitting son of Bettors Delight in the $3,400 feature for trainer Wade Sorrie and owner Walter Simmons of Summerside. A second-place finisher in last week’s James (Roach) MacGregor Gold Cup and Saucer consolation, Bugsy Maguire sports five wins and five seconds from 16 seasonal starts.
The richest Atlantic bred pacer of all-time, The Rev, has Post 2 for trainer-driver Gilles Barrieau.
Post 3 belongs to Cowboy Logic and driver Steven Shepherd for trainer Harold Shepherd. Steven’s two brothers, Patrick and Robert, captured the biggest race of year with Smooth Lou in last Saturday’s Gold Cup and Saucer final and he will look to continue the Shepherd Saturday top class domination this week.
Black Dan has been solid since coming to P.E.I. with the Ryan Perrot-trained and driven son of If I Can Dream leaving from Post 4 Saturday.
Screen Test was large his last two starts winning in 1:52.1 and 1:53.3 for driver Corey MacPherson and trainer Ron Gass. He gets Post 5 this week.
Peter MacPhee places The Rev on top of the Post Time Picks. “We loved that start two back where The Rev fired home in :27.2 to grab the silver. He lines up in a prime-time spot and is going to get a smooth journey so it could be picture time at Red Shores.”
