A field of accomplished pacing mares will line up for top billing in the Thursday, Oct. 30 feature at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park with Sweet Molly looking to maintain her consistent autumn form.
The capital oval has a 12-dash presentation beginning at 6 p.m. (ADT).
The conditioned fillies and mares feature in race 11 carries a $4,150 purse with Sweet Molly bouncing in with a win and two seconds in her last three starts. Selected as the 5-2 morning line favourite, she will start from post three for trainer/driver David Dowling, who co-owns with Clair Murphy, Derrill Murphy and Cindy MacLean. The four-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou-Cheyenne Molly will look for lifetime win number 10 against a competitive group.
My Happy Place has been a model of consistency all season and will leave from the outside post five for driver Gilles Barrieau and trainer Ron Matheson. The sophomore daughter of Betterthancheddar-Smilesplace was a winner in The Maritimer in September at Connell Park in Woodstock, N.B., and boasts a 1:53.1 record taken over Woodbine Mohawk Park earlier this season.
Galway Girl has post one from the red-hot Landon Campbell barn with Marc Campbell guiding the four-year-old daughter of Shanghai Phil-Hazel. Redland Misspretty, to be driven by Paul Langille, holds down post two for trainer Kyle Williams and Elm Grove Mistress from the Jennifer Doyle barn with Jason Hughes driving rounds out the competitive field.
The "Post Time Picks" likes Sweet Molly to get it all: “Sweet Molly wanted to boss it last week and raced great finishing second to Shake N Blake. She’s back at the same level and Dowling will have her on the front foot so she could get win number six in 2025.”
Rocket Blast (Corey MacPherson) takes on day's top trot in race three for a $3,700 purse for trainer/driver Corey MacPherson. The four-year-old son of E L Rocket-Rich Dreams has four foes, including Majian Salsa (Jim Ripley), Hallofaride (Ryan Desroche), Labero (Marc Campbell) and Glider Man (Dowling).
Race nine is “The Brown Wedding November 1, 2025” pace with the Doyle-trained Lady Devine (Ken Murphy) selected on top over Promise Me Later (Dowling) and Magical Mistress (Adam Merner).
