SUMMERSIDE, PE – Brookdale Johnny put his back class on full display in the Tuesday night top class at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway as he fought his way to victory.
The 13-dash presentation was headlined by the race 12 $3,650 top class where Brookdale Johnny ($2.20) and driver Paul Langille sat last and came calling first-over on pacesetter Plain Jane (Driven by Corey MacPherson) before digging in late to win by half-a-length in 1:55.3. Braxtons Boy (Brady Sweet) nabbed second ahead of a third-place Plain Jane. Phil Sizer trains the winning pacer for Amherst, N.S. owners Douglas Polley Sr. and Jr.
Kyle Williams snagged a training double on the program from his Tyne Valley operation, scoring with Redland Misspretty ($5.00) for driver Langille in race 10 in 1:56.1 and Howmac Charmer ($18.00) in line to MacPherson in a 1:55.4 neck-decision in race 9.
George Rennison also sent out a pair of winners on the card, as newcomer Going Yard ($3.30) won with MacPherson in the bike in race 11 in 1:56.4 and Privilege ($6.80) was an open-length winner in the finale in 1:58.1 for pilot David Dowling.
Privilege was part of a driving triple for Dowling, who also steered Dont Come Lookin ($4.80) to a maiden breaking win in race 7 for trainer Chris Davies in 1:59.4 and Isle Bea Wickedwon ($3.10) to win race 6 for trainer Ron Matheson in 1:57.2.
