The last two times Marc Campbell sat behind Hunger Pangs they ended up smiling for their picture and they will try to make it three in the top event on Monday evening's race program at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
The Prince County oval will host Monday evening cards until the end of the meet with 6:30 p.m. opening post times beginning with a 14-dash card this week.
The top class lines up in Race 13 for a $2,900 purse and Hunger Pangs is the top choice from the rail with Campbell steering the Blaine McKenna trainee for owner Susanne MacKeigan of Nova Scotia. The son of Pang Shui was second in the top class last week in Summerside with Jason Hughes at the lines, then was third the start previous for driver Austin Sorrie during Gold Cup Week racing in Charlottetown. That was the same week that Hunger Pangs and Campbell clicked for a career performance off the rail winning in 1:54.2 to erase his former lifetime best of 1:55. Soccer Hanover is back in Summerside with Post 4 in the feature for driver Corey MacPherson and trainer Leith Waite after a solid second place finish in the mud in Charlottetown his last start.
The Backstretch Beat likes Hunger Pangs to get it all in the top event. “The last time Hunger Pangs had rail control with Campbell he abolished his previous lifetime best performance while winning in 1:54.2 last month in Charlottetown. If he can land up handy the action from the beginning, he will be incredibly tough to deny.”
Rounding out the class are Coasttocoastshark (driver Devon Wallace), Chocolate Swirl (Jason Hughes) and Nogreatmischief (Walter Cheverie).
Bettor Than Cash makes his East Coast debut in the final dash of the card from the inside for trainer-driver Ambyr Campbell of Charlottetown, who just purchased the pacer from Ontario. The five-year-old son of Betterthancheddar boasts eight lifetime wins, $79,619 in earnings and a mark of 1:52.2 taken over Woodbine Mohawk Park in Ontario. He is listed at 7-2 morning line odds in his $2,200 Red Shores debut.
