Temagami Seelster may have seen her win streak stop at five races, but she will look to reignite the flame in the Thursday evening (Oct. 8) feature at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 12-dash Thursday presentation has a 6 p.m. opening post time, and the featured pacing fillies and mares are set to face the starting gate for Race 11. Brodie MacPhee will steer Temagami Seelster in the field of eight from the Tom Weatherbie stable for Nova Scotia owners David Mercer, Wayne McGean and Joseph Lewis.
The three-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach was undefeated in her first five starts on 'red soil' before finally being defeated on September 24. Set to start from Post 4, Temagami Seelster will face some rugged company again on Thursday, including 1:54.4 winner Miss Kabana (to be driven by Vincent Poulton) from Post 3 and $400,000 earner Much Adoo (Gilles Barrieau) from Post 7.
Peter MacPhee with the Post Time Picks sees a return to Temagami Seelster’s winning ways. “Temagami Seelster was a bang-up third to Filly Forty Seven last week closing in a snappy :28.3. She should get another good trip from here and with the way she can fire home she could hit the wire first.”
The other entries in the field of featured pacers are Collective Wisdom (Kenny Arsenault), Better Be In Love (Jason Hughes), Tell Me Why (Corey MacPherson), Miss Sangria (Adam Merner) and Traces Of Purple (Marc Campbell).
The lone trotting class of the evening will line up for Race 6. Banker Twentyfive will be making his east coast debut for trainer-driver Campbell and owner Charles Symes of Springhill, N.S. A seven-time winner, the five-year-old son of Break The Bank K boasts over $106,000 in career earnings and a 1:55.4 record taken at the Meadows in Pennsylvania. His last start was also in Pennsylvania, where he made a break at Pocono Downs. Banker Twentyfive’s top rivals on the Thursday card are Majian Chester (Ken Murphy) and Professor Gordon (Merner).
