The Ron Matheson stable will send out the top three entrants in the featured pace on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Post time for the first of 12 dashes is 12:30 p.m. (ADT)

The $5,100 feature in Race 11 is stacked with star power as Twin B Tuffenuff headlines the field from post five for driver Gilles Barrieau and trainer Matheson. The classy 10-year-old is one win shy of 50 lifetime victories for owner Pat Morris of Charlottetown, P.E.I. His latest effort saw him go all the way in 1:54.2 in last week’s feature.

Stablemate House Edge Hanover (To be driven by Ken Murphy) leaves from post two after back-to-back second-place finishes in feature events. The son of Betting Line, owned by Everette Hanson of Maugerville, N.B., boasts 20 wins from 49 career outings.

TH Boomtown (David Dowling) completes the Matheson-trained trio from post three after finishing in the top-three in his last five starts for Dr. Don Ling and Wayne MacDougall of Stratford, P.E.I.

Malignity has drawn post four with Paul Langille handling both training and driving duties for Debbie Francis of Sweets Corner, Rosanne Langille of Lower Onslow, N.S. and Chantel Langille of Montague, P.E.I. The son of Malicious posted a 1:54.3 victory in his latest trip behind the starting gate.

Rail control belong to Chris Kelly's Nothing Bugs Me from the Vaughan Doyle barn with Marc Campbell in the seat as the driver leads all reinsman at Red Shores Charlottetown with 123 victories for his 16th straight season atop the leaderboard.

The Post Time Picks like House Edge Hanover to get it all.

“House Edge Hanover has a win and two seconds in his last four starts, and he's been facing the best aged horses in those races, so with this inside post, I'm betting Kenny stalks from mid-pack and they rally late to get the job done.”

Earlier in the card, the Seniors Engagement Committee–City of Charlottetown Pace carries a purse of $2,900 in Race 5 and features another well-matched group of seven.

Nothininmoderation (Barrieau) will attempt to return to top form for trainer Vaughan Doyle and owner Chris Kelly with rail control. The Western Canadian pacer was a five-time winner last season taking a mark of 1:54.2 at Fraser Downs.

Cowboy Logic lines up from post five with Steven Shepherd in the bike for trainer Harold Shepherd as the morning line favourite while Freight Air (Adam Merner) looks to poise a serious challenge from post two. Merner currently sits five wins away from the 1,000 lifetime win plateau.
