A hotly contested Preferred 2 pace headlines the weekly Monday (Oct. 24) card at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
The Western PEI track has a 6 P.M. opening post time, with the featured event slated as Race 11. Woodmere Ideal Art is the top choice in that $3,300 event from post five. Dale Spence gets the catch driving call from the Sifroi Melanson barn for owner Ultimate Stable of Greater Lakeburn, N.B. The former stakes winning son of Articulator is now in his seven-year-old season and has more than $104,000 to his career credit along with 33 lifetime wins. He was a runner-up to American Risk in his latest start on closing day at Exhibition Park Raceway in Saint John, N.B., but made it to the winner’s circle the start previous at Red Shores Summerside.
Screen Test was second to Woodmere Ideal Art in the Oct. 12 Preferred 2 pace then was a winner in his absence last week. Corey MacPherson drives the Ron Gass entry from post six this week.
Nogreatmischief loves to finish and has been knocking on the door as he leaves from post two Monday for trainer-driver Walter Cheverie. First Glance toured the half-mile oval at Grand River Raceway oval in a snappy 1:54 in September and now returns back to P.E.I. and the Jennifer Doyle barn for this dash. David Dowling will drive the grey son of Thinking Out Loud from post three. The hard-leaving Burn Out Hanover (Brady Sweet) has the outside post seven. Also in the field are Dylan Sam (Ken Murphy) and multiple top class winner His Boy Elroy (Jason Hughes).
The Backstretch Beat sides with Woodmere Ideal Art as the lukewarm top choice in the tight knit field.
“Woodmere Ideal Art was a convincing winner his last start for Spence at this same level at this same track. Repeat time?”
Race 7 is the Wendell Wallace Memorial and the Jeff Wallace-trained Coasttocoastshark has post two in the class as they look for a win close to home. Spence will drive the son of Coastocoast Yankee for owner Shirley Wallace of Alberton. Other top choices are Pictonian Storm (Damian MacLellan) and The Big Chase (MacPherson).
