One of the most impressive two-year-old colts the East Coast has ever seen will return to Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway Sunday afternoon for an all-stakes card.
Woodmere Stealdeal headlines his $7,500 Callbeck Memorial stake division for two-year-old pacing colts in race 10 with the card kicking off at 1:00 P.M.
Marc Campbell will drive the Danny Romo-trained Woodmere Stealdeal from post six for Nova Scotia owners Kevin Dorey of Middle Sackville and Robert Sumarah of Halifax. The Steelhead Hanover pacer turned the Inverness Raceway track record into dust in his latest start as he toured the Cape Breton oval in 1:55.4 to lower the previous 1:58.1 rookie pacing record. The other colt splits are in Races 4, 8 and 12.
The rookie fillies will also have a quartet of divisions with the first in the $7,000 second race. Southfield Skye has yet to taste stakes competition but handily disposed of her foes, and her maiden status, in her career debut with a 1:58 win over the Prince County oval. Adam Merner will be back in the driver’s seat for trainer Glen MacKay and owner Southfield Farms Inc., of Summerside. Divisional leader Aspoonfulofsugar will leave from post six in the field of seven with Dale Spence at the controls of the undefeated filly for trainer Joe Baxter. The fillies also line up in Races 6, 9 and 11.
The $9,850 fifth race is the lone Callbeck two-year-old trot division. Mr Finlay Ridge will be the favourite in the field of nine for trainer-driver Clare MacDonald, who co-owns the Armbro Barrister – R Rocket Rachel colt with fellow Nova Scotianers Ian Tate and Arnold Rankin.
Three-year-old trotters hit the track in the seventh race for a $10,300 pot in the Tyndall Semple Memorial. The older full-brother to Mr Finlay Ridge, Mabou Ridge, is the favourite in that division leaving from the second tier for trainer-driver MacDonald and owner Rankin.
Older trotting mares will compete in two $4,000 divisions of the Island Oceans Trot Classic, presented by JD Marine and Diving Inc., in the first and third dash of the afternoon.
