Sparky Bayama Meets Windemere Express At Summerside

Published: July 31, 2012 04:11 pm EDT

The field is set for the $1,800 Top Class Pace Wednesday at Red Shores Summerside.

First-race post time for the 12-dasg card is 7:00 p.m.

Matt Trapper and driver Brian Andrew have drawn the rail in the eight-horse line-up with Sparky Bayama (Mike Stevenson) and Windemere Exprese (John Holmes) squaring off in the main event.

Both horses have been red hot lately with impressive trips in the 1:57 range and both will have to deal with outside posts Wednesday night. The trip will be key from there.

The line-up also includes OK Chivas, Beechwood Tiger, Four Brass Starz, Ready Cash and Bet the House trained by Blaine McKenna and driven by Jason Hughes.

Hughes is coming off a hot night Saturday in Charlottetown when he recorded five victories on the night. The McKenna-Hughes team is riding a two-race win streak going into Race 6 with Chagrin owned by Bill Andrew of Calgary, Alberta. But it won’t be easy with Woodmere Rose drawing the rail for Walter Cheverie and owners Lynn Woodland and Barry Folland of Cape Traverse.

The $100,000 Dash for Cash and Drive for Charity promotions return to the card on Wednesday at Summerside at 7:00 p.m., while the promotions hit the stage again Thursday night at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
