After seeing her win streak broken by the boys last week, Dreamfair Zenfire will try to start a fresh one against the girls on Thursday evening (Nov. 5) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
With 12 dashes on tap, the capital oval will see its action commence at 6 p.m.
The $2,550 featured fillies and mares pace will line up for Race 11, and Dreamfair Zenfire has been assessed as the top choice from Post 4. She races for trainer/driver Marc Campbell and owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris. The four-year-old Sunfire Blue Chip mare recorded five straight wins against the open pacing mares, and then had to face the preferred 2 boys last Saturday in Charlottetown where she finished fourth. Her path to victory on Thursday will involve defeating five top-notch pacing mares, including fellow open mare Woodmere Chella (to be driven by Corey MacPherson) from Post 5. Temagami Seelster will start from Post 3 in the class. Kenny Arsenault will be aboard the nine-time winning daughter of Sunshine Beach.
Peter MacPhee with the 'Post Time Picks' sees the return to female racing a major plus in Dreamfair Zenfire’s path to the winner’s circle. “Dreamfair Zenfire saw her winning streak come to end when she finished fourth to Cowboy Logic. It looks like she’ll be 'bossing it' tonight and if she does clear expect her to be smiling in the winner’s circle again.”
Also in the field are The Time To Win (Adam Merner), Lean On Who (Gilles Barrieau) and Filly Forty Seven (Jason Hughes).
A pair of trotting mares will face male counterparts in the $2,350 Open Trot (Race 8). Island Oceans Trot Series champion Daisy River (Hughes) will start from Post 2 for trainer William Lanigan, while fellow mare Sailor Blue (Ken Murphy) is scheduled to line up in Post 1. The top contenders are co-track record holders Mile Hill Willie (Barrieau) and Freddie (Campbell) from Post 4 and 5, respectively. Post 3 belongs to Glider Man (David Dowling).
