Bugsy Maguire will make the trek to Prince County Monday (Oct. 18) and will attempt to best four foes at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
The Western oval will host 11 dashes on Monday starting at 6:30 p.m., with the preferred pace hitting the track in the tenth race.
Bugsy Maguire gets top call in that $3,100 event with Corey MacPherson getting the catch driving call for trainer Wade Sorrie and owner Walter Simmons of Summerside from post four. The seven-year-old son of Bettors Delight has been going toe-to-toe with Time To Dance every week and draws clear of him for Monday’s contest.
Heart And Soul was a winner in last week’s top class with post two this week for driver Walter Cheverie and trainer George Riley. The son of Western Paradise boasts 12 top-three finishes from his 15 seasonal starts. Theycallmedude (Adam Merner) has rail control fresh off a second-place finish to Chocolate Swirl (Jason Hughes), who will leave from post three. Hunger Pangs (Marc Campbell) holds down the outside post five.
The Backstretch Beat in Monday’s card has Bugsy Maguire as the heavy favourite.
“Bugsy Maguire is undeniably the class of the field and gets a driver change with MacPherson placing his feet in the stirrups for this one. He will be a tough one to beat regardless of what kind of trip he gets.”
Racing at Red Shores Summerside is coming into its final weeks and Campbell will attempt to retake the lead in the driver’s standings during Monday’s card. The Orwell-based driver sits in second place with 42 wins after Hughes took the top spot last week with a four-win performance to put him at 45 victories. MacPherson is also within striking distance in third place with 39 victories on the season.
Campbell already has the lead in the trainer’s race with 18 wins, ahead of second place Ron Gass (15 wins) and Sorrie (12 winners).
