Holiday Monday (August 6) at Dresden will see an influx of newcomers to Dresden Raceway as 23 horses will be making their 2018 debut at the local oval.
Stonebridge Guard will be looking for his seventh win in a row for owners Doug Dunbar, Fred Woolford and Jack Wray. The three-year-old Shadow Play gelding is conditioned by Wray and driven by Scott Wray. Stonebridge Guard reeled off five wins in a row at Northside Downs and then visited the winner’s circle at Clinton.
Veteran Quebec horseman Sylvain Lacaille will have five horses ready to go for Monday’s card including three that are owned and trained by his daughter Kelly Duval-Lacaille. Lacaille will be between the shafts for Brandons Bandit, Eataam Whosurboy, Silky Cam, Bad Yankee and Jewels In The Sand.
Dresden Raceway regular Donnie Rankin will be doing his best to see that the newcomers take home second-place money as much as possible as he will be going post ward with GD Cruise For Gold, On The Take and Feel The Bern.
Another local trainer, Mike Carther, is also hoping to visit the winner’s circle with Hopetobefirst, Three Rockets and Team Leader.
Dresden’s purses have increased for the last two cards of racing with the top class going for $6,200 and the bottom purse at $4,000.
Fans will be in for a treat on Monday with free hot buttered corn on the cob as well as a slew of giveaways including draws for six kid’s bicycles. The track will have free face painting, kid’s giveaways and prizes to celebrate Kid’s Day.
