Mc Pat has been the boss in Charlottetown the last two weeks and will search for his third straight in the Sunday (Nov. 7) top event at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 14-dash Sunday card starts off at 12:30 p.m., with the preferred pace headlining the card in Race 13.
The $3,400 preferred class will see Mc Pat from Post 3 after wins his last two races for the combination of driver Adam Merner and trainer Gilles Barrieau. The Delmarvalous pacer is co-owned by Everette Hanson and Donald Stevenson of New Brunswick and currently has six wins in 2021.
Dreamfair Zenfire makes the step up from the girls to take on the boys in this race after a 1:55.2 win her last start in the Fillies and Mares preferred. She will leave from Post 4 this week for trainer-driver Marc Campbell.
Bugsy Maguire prevailed in the preferred class on the closing card of the Red Shores Summerside season and will get Post 2 on Sunday with Dale Spence picking up the drive for trainer Wade Sorrie.
From the far outside is Post 7 starter Moonwriter, fresh off a near miss for win his last start in 1:54.4 to Mc Pat as he finished second by a neck. David Dowling is at the lines of the Colin Johnson trainee.
The Post Time Picks in Sunday’s card has Mc Pat as the top choice in the top-level pace.
“Mc Pat knocked off the top pacers his last two starts and with Merner staying at the lines we see this as a solid chance for three straight.”
Also in the preferred field are Screen Test (Corey MacPherson), Cowboy Logic (Steven Shepherd) and Chocolate Swirl (Jason Hughes).
The trainer and driver races are far from a foregone conclusion at the city track with Campbell leading all trainers with 43 wins but Ron Matheson in close pursuit at 40 victories in 2021. Barrieau, who has been out of commission from a racing accident the last month, is still the leading driver with 106 winners but Campbell is closing in with 100 wins this season.
