A proven class act from New Zealand headlines the feature on Tuesday evening, June 24 at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway as Miki Shan N looks to assert himself in his Prince Edward Island debut.
The $4,600 feature goes behind the gate in race 13 on the 14-dash program, with Miki Shan N drawing post four for trainer Chris MacKay and catch-driver Gary Chappell. The six-year-old son of Always B Miki-Yankee Dream had been racing in the U.S. for New York's Kap Singh Racing Stable and Ontario's Stephen Klunowski and Earl Hill Jr. He was a fifth-place finisher in the $138,889 Borgata Series consolation at Yonkers Raceway in May.
Braxtons Boy, to be driven by Brady Sweet, was a bang-up second to Mr Kelly in last week’s feature from the Rick Armstrong stable. The five-year-old son of Whosurboy-Nitrous Force is winless so far in 2025 but has had six runner-up finishes.
Mr Kelly has post three for trainer/driver Adam Merner after wiring this class last week in 1:56 flat.
The "Backstretch Beat" goes with the Kiwi, Miki Shan A, to land on top: “Mick Shan N joins the Chris MacKay barn after campaigning in the United States and racing some of the best half-mile horses on the planet. Was competitive in the Borgata Series so he should be the best in this group tonight if he brings his 'A' hame. This gelding looks like the type to make an immediate impact on the local scene.”
Other starters in the feature are One Eight Hundred (Mike Downey) and Howmac Charmer (Corey MacPherson).
The curtain rises on the program with a group of pacing colts and geldings in a $3,350 test as Tobins Storm looks for his third straight from the Bruce McGean barn with Paul Langille in the seat. The three-year-old son of Stag Party-Rock Solid Virtue was a 1:56 and change winner in his last two races at his home base of Truro Raceway in Nova Scotia for owner Tobins Storm Stable Group.
The George Rennison-trained Saulsbrook Bolt (Brady Sweet) has post one after winning last week in 1:57.4 at Summerside. Other top entries include Wizard (Merner) for trainer Alan MacDonald and Timberlea Duke (Murphy) from the Joe Baxter barn.
The finale is a $2,800 conditioned pace with numerous angles, but all eyes will be on Hunger Pangs from the far outside and Max Patrick, fresh off a trip in 1:55 flat in Charlottetown. Hunger Pangs (MacPherson) was an open-length winner last week from the Blaine McKenna barn and has drawn post seven to close out the Tuesday card for owner Susanna MacKeigan of Nova Scotia. The Allan Gregory-trained Max Patrick (Myles Heffernan Sr.) is a major threat from post five along with pylon starter Howmac Powerball (Brady Sweet) from the Rennison stable.
