The top pacing mares on the Eastern Seaboard of Canada will reignite their rivalry in the Thursday evening, June 27 feature at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 13-dash card begins at 6 p.m. with last week’s winner, Rosetown Mary, absent from the proceedings in the race 12 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace for a $3,700 purse. The runner-up that day was Pasta Momma, who gets the call as the morning line favourite this week from post five for driver Marc Campbell, trainer Landon Campbell and owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod and Brady Doyle. Trainer Campbell also sends out Plain Jane from post two in line to Brady Sweet.
Redlandbethanyjean (Brodie MacPhee) is second choice from post six for trainer Tom Weatherbie after winning her latest in 1:55.4. Sugar Bowl (Mark Bradley) was second in her qualifier to Free-For-All pacer Bee Two Bee while race timed in 1:56.4. She has rail control from the Ashley Gamester barn in this dash. The other Gamester entry is post three starter Acefortyfour Dome (Ken Murphy).
Also in the field are Share The Moment (Gilles Barrieau) and Tobins Brownie (David Dowling).
The Post Time Picks is going with Pasta Momma on top: “Pasta Momma was sent to the point and raced great just getting nipped in deep stretch. We’re thinking Campbell will be pushing the pace again and if that’s how it plays out, she could be smiling for the camera.”
Race 10 is the $3,300 Open Trot with Irish Ray (Marc Campbell) the top selection from post two for trainer Landon Campbell and owner Fred MacDonald of Kingston, P.E.I. The four-year-old son of Muscle Through It has four rivals including the Kyle Desroche-trained Windmeredontuworry (Corey MacPherson), who beat this class last week and has post one on Thursday. The other three entries all come from the Jennifer Doyle barn: New Legacy (Murphy), Glider Man (Myles Heffernan Sr.) and Jessiejesorjessica (David Dowling).
