A strong Fillies & Mares Preferred 2 event is the penultimate dash of the Tuesday, Dec. 16 program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Post time is set for 6 p.m. (AST) with 12 dashes on the program, which also featured the Open Trot and a PEISHOA Pace as part of a full mid-week offering.
The $4,450 Fillies & Mares Preferred 2 Pace is slated for race 11 where Acefortyfour Dome gets the rail with Jason Hughes driving for trainer Ashley Gamester. The Up The Credit-Galyn Fantasy mare has been sharp in recent outings but has not scored a win in recent months and draws ideally to control the race from the outset.
Therealprincess is a major threat from post two for Gilles Barrieau and trainer Ron Matheson while Shake N Blake will line up from post three with Ken Murphy as part of a stable entry for Jennifer Doyle that includes Lady Devine , to be driven by David Dowling, from post four.
The 5-2 morning line favourite, Windemere Saddy and Marc Campbell round out a deep field for trainer Saul Lanigan after winning her last two races. Driver Campbell currently sits $2,468 shy of $10 million in career earnings heading into Tuesday’s program.
The Open Trot takes centre stage in race eight with a $4,200 purse. Buckhead Ridge, driven by Marc Campbell, is the favourite from post five as the Landon Campbell trainee will put a three-race win steak on the line. Other top challengers include Fight Song (Jason Hughes) from post six, Whole Nother (Colin Sheppard) from post two and New Legacy (David Dowling) with rail control.
The first race kicks off the card with the $3,150 PEISHOA Pace for maiden pacers. Nobel Hanover will start from the rail with Brady Sweet listed to drive for trainer Jeff Holmes after a narrow lose in his latest. J J Leona (Corey MacPherson) was victorious that day and is back in the class from post five for trainer Joe Baxter.
