Fresh off the fastest win any horse shows on the program, Heartland Eclipse will cross the Confederation Bridge and try to protect the rail in the Sunday afternoon feature at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
The Prince County oval will play host to 11 dashes Sunday with a 1:00 P.M. first race post time. The $2,700 Preferred 2 pace has Heartland Eclipse leaving from post one after smoking his foes in 1:55.2 last time out at Truro Raceway in Bible Hill, N.S. Owned by Lee Raymond of Truro, Hearland Eclipse’s trainer Don Ellis has elected to place Mike McGuigan in the driver's seat of the six-year-old son of Armbro Baylor as he searches for win number 18 of his pacing career.
Mantario has post six in the field of seven with Norris Rogers picking up the catch drive for trainer Alex Sobey and owner Walter Simmons of Summerside. A finalist in the Birthplace Of Confederation Series, Mantario will look to rebound off a sixth-place finish in his latest start. Dangle Ona Dime was red-hot the first part of the season at Red Shores Summerside but has hit a temporary rough patch. Starting from post seven on Sunday afternoon, the four-year-old son of Pang Shui has the services of Corey MacPherson in the driver’s seat.
Also in the field is Rockin Indy (David Dowling), Jeb (Jason Hughes), Nogreatmischief (Walter Cheverie) and Soccer Hanover (John Davidson).
The back-up pace lines up in Race 7 with $2,400 at play. McGuigan will drive the Elton Millar-trained pacer Ramset from post three in the field of eight for owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris. A recent third-place finisher in the $3,500 Joe and Jennie Chippin Memorial at Fredericton Raceway in New Brunswick, Ramset has five wins from 17 starts so far in 2019. Other top entries include Coasttocoastshark (Ken Murphy) and White Fish Flash (Norris Rogers).
Trainer Earl Watts will be special guest on Inside Track. The interview segment, hosted by Rocky Schurman, will air at 12:35 p.m. on the Red Shores broadcast.
