With the undefeated Windemere Skye absent from the entry box, Brokeandoutofgas will look to return to her winning ways on Thursday, Nov. 11 at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval has a 14-dash presentation starting at 6 p.m., with the $6,350 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace lining up in Race 13.
Brokeandoutofgas is the 5-2 morning-line favourite in the Preferred from post three with Gilles Barrieau in the seat for trainer and owner Tammy Collings of Hazel Brook, P.E.I. The five-year-old daughter of Arthur Blue Chip-Onehotvett has finished second to Windemere Skye in her last two outings after winning the feature on Oct. 22 in 1:56. The talented mare has seven victories from 29 starts this season.
Badgirl Bridgette (4-1) is another top contender from post four with David Dowling driving for trainer Bill Lanigan. Windemere Saddy (PP5, Ken Murphy, 3-1) starts from post five for trainer Saul Lanigan, while Rosetown Mary (7-2) has post two for trainer-driver Corey MacPherson and Tobins Brownie (6-1), to be driven by trainer Adam Merner, leaves from the rail.
The Post Time Picks likes Brokeandoutofgas on top of the five-horse field.
“Brokeandoutofgas has been knocking on the door against Windemere Skye in her last two starts and now gets some class relief with that rival absent. She has been racing tremendously well for Team Collings and from this inside post, we think Barrieau puts her in striking position early and gets her back to the winner's circle.”
The Open Trot takes centre stage in Race 6 for a $6,050 purse with Fight Song the 5-2 morning-line favourite from post five. Jason Hughes drives the Ashley Gamester trainee for owner Donald MacRae of Vernon Bridge, P.E.I. The seven-year-old son of Kadabra-Fortunes Of Fables has won five of his last six starts and nine times this season in 19 outings. West River Jet (3-1) is fresh off a victory in last week's Open Trot and leaves from post four for trainer-driver Kenny Arsenault, while Rina Labelle (4-1), trained and driven by Landon Campbell, is another top contender from post two.
The PEIHRIA Fall Series begins Thursday evening with three opening-leg divisions for pacing fillies and mares.
Lorne Valley Liv is the top morning-line selection in the $4,000 first-race division from post seven with Myles Heffernan Jr. training and driving. Shoot To Thrill (PP2, Ryan Desroche, 3-1) and Smilin In Heaven (PP1, Adam Merner, 4-1) are other major contenders.
The $3,500 seventh-race division has Woodmere Chella (Dana Sweet, 7-2) as the Post Time Picks selection from post three against morning-line favourites Whiskey Station (PP1, Gilles Barrieau, 5-2) and Howmac Charger (PP5, Ken Murphy, 3-1).
The final $3,500 PEIHRIA Fall Series division is in Race 10 with Princess Halo favoured at 5-2 on the morning line for driver Brady Sweet from post two. Skip Across (PP3, Jason Hughes, 3-1) and Olivers Sweetie (PP1, Brett Clow, 4-1) are other top choices.
