The P.E.I. Colt Stakes Graduate Series for aged pacing horses, presented by Kay’s Wholesale, comes to its 2025 conclusion on Tuesday evening, Aug. 26 at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The Prince County, P.E.I. oval has a 16-dash program scheduled with a 6 p.m. (ADT) post time featuring the $16,000 Gold final, the $10,400 Grassroots final and a $6,000 Grassroots consolation of the P.E.I. Colt Stakes Graduate Series.

Saulsbrook Ian, to be driven by Adam Merner, will try to add to his already sparkling career from post three as the morning line favourite in the $16,000 Gold final in race 13. The five-year-old Betterthancheddar-Atlanta Girl gelding last raced in the $30,000 James (Roach) MacGregor Gold Cup &  Saucer Consolation for trainer Jamie Smith and owner Red Oak Rock Stables of Charlottetown. The Nova Scotia-bred pacer is an 18-time winner lifetime.

Howmac Charmer has rail control in the compact field of five for trainer Kyle Williams and driver Corey MacPherson. The five-year-old Malicious-Jojoes Shabla gelding has four wins this year, including a sizzling 1:53.3 performance over Summerside.

Malignity has been a steady stakes force throughout his career and the five-year-old Malicious-Lady Kelleigh Anne gelding will line up from post five for trainer/driver Paul Langille.

Brookdale Johnny, who will start from post four with David Dowling in the bike, is fresh off a Preferred win in 1:54.3 last time in Summerside for trainer Phil Sizer while Little Leroy, to be driven by Ken Murphy, completes the Gold field in post two for trainer Joseph Baxter.

The Backstretch Beat sides with Saulsbrook Ian: “Saulsbrook Ian has proven himself against the deepest company in the division, and his Gold Cup & Saucer Consolation speed will be tough to match if he can control things early. The class edge is his greatest weapon here.”

The Grassroots final in race 10 carries a $10,400 purse and Jack Boswall (Dowling) is favoured from post one after a 1:54.3 Summerside score for trainer Keith MacDonell. Allaboutthecash (Brady Sweet) has been razor sharp for Jeff Holmes and lands post three, while the Langille-trained and reined Good Omen ships in off a pair of seconds in his latest tries.

The Grassroots Consolation goes for $6,000 in race seven with Freemans Legacy (Jaycob Sweet) favoured from post two with four wins so far this season. Woodmere Sinatra (Dowling) looms the danger from the rail while Gascoigne A C (Langille) has the speed and consistency to land on the ticket from post five.

The program also features a $4,700 high-end overnight pace in race 15 with Redland Misspretty (Langille), Mantario (Dowling), Starship Glyde (Merner), Rose Run X Con (MacPherson) and Sauble Attack (Murphy).
