The Sunday program gets underway at 1 P.M., in Summerside as Howmac Maximus is selected to win the $3,050 feature event.

Navalny (To be driven by Adam Merner) leaves from the outside post 6 in the field from the Melissa Rennie stable. Starshipzodiac is fresh off a personal best 1:57.1 victory his last start and has rail control in line to Brett Leblanc.
Also in the field are Rusty Riley (Paul Langille, Woodmere Denny (Dale Spence) and Starship Glyde (David Dowling).
The Backstretch Beat goes with Howmac Maximus on top.
“Howmac Maximus was an impressive winner in P.E.I. Colt Stakes Graduate Series action his last start as he came first-over to win in 1:54 flat. He’ll likely have to use similar tactics today but when his confidence is this high he should give another good account of himself.”
The race 12 final has Howmac Charmer as the morning line favourite with post 6 for driver Dowling, trainer Kyle Williams and owner Doug Williams of Ontario. The Malicious four-year-old has been nothing short of amazing all season with three wins and four seconds from just seven starts.
Former Gold Cup and Saucer champion Smooth Lou (Corey MacPherson) leaves from post 2 while newcomer Happierdaysrcomin (Jason Hughes) has post 7.
