A hard-knocking veteran who’s found a new gear headlines a deep group in the feature pace at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway on Sunday, Aug. 3.
The 15-dash Sunday card has a 1 p.m. (ADT) start time with the $5,000 feature in the second-last race of the day.
The post five starter in the Race 14 feature is All Bets On Tex, who was second in the Bob Dewar Memorial Governor’s Plate consolation two starts back. He now comes in fresh off a second-place finish against similar at Red Shores Charlottetown for trainer-driver Adam Merner and owners Blair MacLauchlan, Marc Gallant and Kent Livingston.
Lining up to try and spoil the party is Sauble Attack (PP1, Ken Murphy) for trainer Paul Biggar. The Bettors Delight gelding has been razor-sharp in recent weeks, racing consistently against this class.
Howmac Charmer (PP2, David Dowling) is another legitimate contender from the Kyle Williams barn. A winner in two of his last three, the five-year-old son of Malicious has hardly missed a top-three finish this season on the Prince County oval and will be prominent in the feature again.
Rose Run X Con (PP3, Norris Rogers) is a classy customer who’s gone big miles at both Charlottetown and Summerside this year and boasts a lifetime mark of 1:52.1. He was a winner his last start in Summerside in 1:54.1 for owner JD Racing Inc., of Cornwall and trainer Nicholas Oakes.
Brookdale Johnny lands post four for trainer Phil Sizer and owner-breeders Doug Polley Sr., and Doug Polley Jr., of Amherst, N.S., with Paul Langille back in the race bike. The five-year-old son of Rockin In Heaven is fresh off a 1:56.2 score in Summerside’s top class.
The Backstretch Beat puts All Bets On Tex in the win position.
“All Bets On Tex has been facing the best pacers on the Eastern seaboard so this class should be his to lose as he ships to Summerside. He’ll be bet heavy and he should be as he preps for Old Home Week 2025.”
