CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – The Glamour Gals will square off again Thursday evening in the featured Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The Thursday card will kick off at 6 P.M., with the $3,700 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace hitting the track in race 9.
Share The Moment is back on the East Coast after a winter campaign in Ontario for trainer Jodie Cullen. One of the top pacing mares on the East Coast in 2023, Share The Moment is back in the Bo Ford stable for owners Luke Beck, Scott Bridges and Arnold Myers. An open-length winner in 1:57.1 at Flamboro Downs in Ontario in January, the six-year-old daughter of Control The Moment snapped home in 28.3 in her qualifier last week with regular P.E.I. driver Gilles Barrieau in the seat. Share The Moment has post 2 Thursday.
Rail control belongs to newcomer The Ideal Huntress, who resides in the Ellen Stevenson stable in New Brunswick. Dr. Mitchell Downey owns and drives the Huntsville mare.
Chelski won this class last week with Corey MacPherson aboard for trainer Jennnifer Doyle and owners Jeffrey and Robert Skinner. She has the outside post 5 this week. Also in the field are Tobins Brownie (To be driven by David Dowling) and Ms Moyse (Adam Merner).
The Backstretch Beat places Share The Moment firmly in the win column.
“Share The Moment was razor sharp in the qualifier firing home in 28.3 for the victory. We’re betting Barrieau will want to boss it from the word go and if that’s the case it could seal the deal in the feature.”
The Ise Pick 5 kicks off the program in race 1 as Islebetu Islebeatu (Mike McGuigan) is the morning line favourite. The five-dash wager has a $2000 guarantee pool beginning in race 1 through five with Super Hi5’s in races 5 and 10 and a late Pik4. PEI Players will now be included in the HPI Rewards program this season.
Play at the track or from home through HPIBET.COM. For the Race Day broadcast, race programs and more go to the new player portal at Redshores.ca.
