Summerside Raceway Season Finale Sunday

Racing action at Red Shores Summerside

Red Shores at Summerside Raceway will close out its 2026 harness racing season with a 13-dash program beginning at 12:30 p.m. (AST) on Sunday, Nov. 15.

The feature race is a $6,600 conditioned pace in race 12 with Freemans Legacy headlining the field of five as the 5-2 morning line favourite from post four for trainer/driver Jaycob Sweet. The five-year-old Pang Shui-Camco Terra gelding has nine victories this season for owner Mackenzie Arsenault of Alberton, P.E.I. A winner of this same class on Oct. 27, he finished second to Fast Louie next time out on Nov. 3 and third behind Phil My Beer and Fast Louie in his latest outing.

Fast Louie is among the rivals he will face this weekend, with David Dowling back in the race bike from post five for trainer Mike Ramsay. Sauble Attack (Ken Murphy) has rail control for trainer Paul Biggar, while Brookdale Johnny (Paul Langille) will leave from post two for trainer Phil Sizer. The Devils Cash, now trained and driven by Brady Sweet, will make his Island return and leave post three after racing in Maine.

The "Post Time Picks" analyst sides with Fast Louie to take top honours: “Fast Louie has been knocking heads with some of the toughest pacers on the Island and continues to put up strong miles. He was right there at the finish last week and this looks like an excellent spot for him to get back on the winning side. Expect Dowling to have him in striking position when it matters most.”

The $4,150 race 13 finale has First Glance (Brady Sweet) selected as the morning line favourite from post five for trainer Chris Davies. The eight-year-old Thinking Out Loud-Whiteglance gelding has won his last two starts, including a 1:56 victory on Tuesday evening. 

The final program will also put the finishing touches on the 2026 Summerside Raceway driving and training standings, with Paul Langille holding a commanding advantage in the driving race. Langille enters the season finale with 61 victories from 300 starts, 10 wins ahead of Corey MacPherson, who has 51 victories from 295 drives. Ken Murphy sits third with 45 wins, followed by Marc Campbell with 38 and Jaycob Sweet with 33.

The training championship remains much closer, with Earl Watts holding a slim one-win advantage over Jaycob Sweet heading into the final card. Watts leads the standings with 26 victories from 88 starts, while Sweet has 25 wins from 132 starters. Phil Sizer and George Rennison are tied for third with 17 training victories apiece, followed by Paul Langille with 15. With just one program remaining, Watts has no entries on the Sunday card while Sweet has six starters in his bid to take the title.

Fans will be offered wagering BOGOs with a purchase of a race program, second chance draws and the grand prize draw for the $1,000 Grand In Your Hand promotion will take place after race nine. The Prince County Horsemen’s Club will hold its Horseperson’s Day with prize draws for members and additional draws with the 50/50.
