SUMMERSIDE, PE — Mr Kelly will look to convert his consistent performances into a trip to the winner’s circle when he headlines the Tuesday evening program at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
First race post time is 6 P.M. for the 15-dash presentation with the $3,900 featured pace lining up in Race 14.
Mr Kelly has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite from post 3 with Adam Merner handling the driving duties from his own stable. The eight-year-old son of Rollwithitharry has been a consistent force in the pacing ranks with three second-place finishes in his last four outings.
Marsha Knox of Stanhope, Cory Livingston of P.E.I., Kevin Teasdale of Alberta and Dustin MacInnis of Nova Scotia share the ownership of the career winner of $189,985.
Howmac Charmer has post 6 in the field for driver Corey MacPherson and trainer Kyle Williams at odds of 3-1. The five-year-old son of Malicious was a winner in his latest outing, stopping the clock in 1:55.4 while defeating Tuesday night rival Hes Touring by a head. Doug Williams of Guelph, Ontario holds the ownership papers on the career winner of $68,361.
Hes Touring gets post 1 with David Dowling in the bike for owner-trainer Clair Sweet. The seven-year-old son of Hes Watching has three wins from 14 starts in 2025 and was a close second to Howmac Charmer in his latest outing.
Rounding out the field are Braxtons Boy (To be driven by Brady Sweet) from post 2, Sauble Attack (Ken Murphy) with post 4 and Nolans Magic Shui (Paul Langille) with post 5.
The Backstretch Beat likes Mr Kelly to get it all.
“A former stakes star in Atlantic Canada and has been facing some elite company again this season, finishing a strong third in his last start while race timed in 1:53.4. Merner knows this veteran better than anyone and tonight looks like his time to shine.”
The evening concludes with Race 15’s $2,800 pace where Marleys Boy has been established as the 5-2 morning line choice from post 1 with Ryan DesRoche in the bike for trainer Earl Watts. The four-year-old Betterthancheddar gelding was fourth in his latest outing, pacing in 1:56 while finishing just over a length behind the winner at Red Shores Charlottetown. Wade Peconi of Stanchel, P.E.I. owns the homebred pacer.
Other top entries include full-brothers Starship Glyde (Merner) with post 6 and Starshipzodiac (Brett Leblanc) from post 3.
