Dreamfair Zenfire Looks To Defend Crown
Dreamfair Zenfire will have a compact field to contend with as she defends her Atlantic Aged Pacing Mares title Sunday (Oct. 3) at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
The 14-dash Sunday card kicks off at 1:00 P.M. featuring the Atlantic Aged Pacing Mares Series final, presented by Standardbred Canada, in Race 10.
The $15,617 event has only four other mares brave enough to take on 1:52.3 Red Shores Charlottetown track record holder Dreamfair Zenfire. The favoured mare leaves from Post 4 in the field for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris.
Her foes are Ladylike (David Dowling), Arc Light (Jason Hughes), Larjon Legacy (Gilles Barrieau) and Woodmere Skyroller (Corey MacPherson) on her quest for a second consecutive title.
The Backstretch Beat places Dreamfair Zenfire on top for Sunday’s card.
“Has marked herself as the fastest lass to ever grace the Eastern Seaboard of Canada and was mighty impressive winning her last start. With Campbell returning to the race bike this looks like the day that the ‘King’ crowns this mare a two-time Queen.”
Three-year-old pacing filly Mystifying will make the final Lady Slipper Gold start of her career in Race 9 with a healthy $23,100 purse at play for the sophomores. Barrieau drives the Atlantic record holding filly off the rail for trainer and co-owner Darryl MacLean and co-owners Gordon MacLean and Stephen Downey.
Tobins Brownie will have her work cut out in the other $23,100 Lady Slipper Gold division in Race 12 as the heavy favourite is saddled with Post 8 for trainer-driver Dowling and owners Alex Quinn, Brittany Watts, Amy Lakie and Carl Peterson.
The lone $11,575 Lady Slipper grassroots division for sophomore fillies lines up in Race 2. The afternoon card also has $12,350 Lady Slipper two-year-old trot divisions in Races 1 and 3, and the three-year-old trotters battle in Lady Slipper splits in Races 5 and 7 with $12,115 purses in each.
