Summerside Feature To Machinthesand
Machinthesand and driver Ken Murphy won the Sunday feature at Red Shores Summerside in 1:57.2.
Murphy, driving for Noonan Holdings Ltd. – Russell and Karen Noonan of Summerside, P.E.I., sent Machinthesand gunning to the point from post eight with fractions of the mile being charted at :28.3, :57.1 and 1:27.3. The Hughie Murphy trainee notched his sixth win of the season. Tyber Champ rallied to finish second with Oh To Be Me third. There were no tickets sold on the 8-2-5 combination so the triactor paid out on 8-2-all returning $442.80.
Murphy also made an appearance in the winner’s circle with Tammysmist, who recorded her third victory in a row. Kenneth Waite of Summerside is the owner with Elton Miller the trainer.
Jason Hughes had another big day at the office. The “Blue Knight,” just off making headlines with the fastest aged trotting mile for mares in Maritime history Saturday in Charlottetown, turned a hat-trick at the Prince County oval scoring with Bad Date, Bunny Mach and Perfect Circle.
I Aint No Lady claimed the trot class for Mike Stevenson, owner Sandra Cole of Kensington, P.E.I., and trainer Garth Cole. Sendmeasign claimed the William & Doris Companion Memorial Pace for driver Norris Rogers, owner Alex Sobey and trainer Dale Sobey.
Rogers, Stevenson and Murphy had driving doubles while Harold Hill had a training double on the 13-dash program.
