CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Never Shui Never has been nothing short of flawless in her young career and will look for more in the Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s stake as part of a special Saturday doubleheader at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The afternoon card gets underway at 12 P.M., with 10-dashes scheduled as the start of a 23-race day.
Never Shui Never has post 2 in her $31,600 Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s two-year-old pacing filly event in race 9. Gilles Barrieau trains and drives for owner Nikway Farms as the daughter of Pang Shui has scored three wins from as many starts in her career. Her chief rivals are Howmac Maleficent (To be driven by Ken Murphy) and Mindbodyandsoul (Paul Langille).
The other Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s two-year-old filly division is in race 8 with Saulsbrook Inferno the top selection with David Dowling driving for trainer Earl Watts and owners Windemere Farms, Hollis Newson, Jack Quinn and Sterling Buchanan. The Flameproof Hanover filly is a five-time winner in 2024 with $57,482 in the bank. She lines up against the likes of Lady Llamrei (Adam Merner) and Windemereontheline (Langille).
The two-year-old pacing colts have a trio of Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s divisions in races 2, 4 and 6.
The first $22,400 Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s for rookie pacing colts in race 2 has Rosetown Eclipse (Corey MacPherson) the top selection from post 3 for owners Rosetown Stable, Jim Gorman and Mike Gorman over Phil My Beer (Marc Campbell) and Woodmere Rocketman (Barrieau).
The $22,400 Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s division in race 4 will see Here On Earth favoured off the rail for trainer-driver Merner and owners Cory Livingston and Jared Perrot. The other favourites are All My Lovin (Marc Campbell) and Prince Malicious (Jason Hughes).
Race 6 has Malevolent (Langille) sporting an eight-for-nine record from post 5 for owners Rosanne Langille and Debbie Francis. His opponents include Like A King (Dowling) and Sergeant Crowley (Barrieau).
