Series action continues on Saturday, Nov. 25 with the eliminations of the Steven MacRae Memorial at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval has 14 dashes on tap with a 12:30 P.M. opening post time. The eliminations of the Steven MacRae Memorial series, named in honour of the late race fan and horse owner who passed away at age 25 in 2019.
The first $3,000 MacRae Memorial elimination takes to the track in the fifth race with Check Your Source (To be driven by Adam Merner) the morning line favourite from the rail for trainer Gordie Hennessey and owners Gisele Bernard and Lori Hennessey. The four-year-old son of Source Of Pride will take on seven rivals including Keeper Floored (Marc Campbell) and Outrageous Show (Corey MacPherson).
The Post Time Picks like Keeper Floored to get it all from post two for trainer Roger MacRae.
“Keeper Floored doesn’t have much gate speed so Marc will wait for the dust to settle before making his move. He’s been racing stiffer competition than he faces today so look for a brush and crush type trip from him in here.”
The second MacRae elimination in the seventh contains a field of seven with the top four advancing to next week’s final.
Rockin Novel will look for redemption from post six in the field after a costly miscue last week. Ken Murphy gets the driving assignment for trainer Roy Reynolds and owners Reynolds Racing of Murray River.
Other top entries include Stealing Bases (David Dowling) and Philthebank (Campbell).
The Post Time Picks look at Rockin Novel as a heavy favourite.
“Rockin Novel Is facing easier competition today but draws outside. There’s some inside speed but this horse should get the respect off the wings. He’ll be tough to beat.”
The program also featured a $3,500 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace in Race 13.
