CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Driver David Dowling and trainer Jennifer Doyle have been a near unstoppable team in 2024 and they will look for more success in the Saturday afternoon top class at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval has a 12-dash presentation starting at 12:30 P.M., with the $3,700 Fillies and Mares Preferred hitting the track in race 11.
The Doyle trained Shake N Blake provided a mild upset at 4-1 odds in last week’s Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace, and will be saddle with post 6 this week for driver Dowling and owner Danny Birt of Earnscliffe. The four-year-old daughter of Hes Watching has been hitting the top-three every week with 11 victories in 2024.
Sugar Bowl (To be driven by Gilles Barrieau) has post 4 in the Fillies and Mares Preferred field after falling short as the post time favourite last week from the Jeff Holmes stable.
Rail control goes to Redlandbethanyjean (Brodie MacPhee) after making her last start Oct. 26 in the Atlantic Aged Pacing Mares final for trainer Tom Weatherbie.
Rosetown Mary (Corey MacPherson) leaves from post 2 while Acefortyfour Dome (Jason Hughes) is the post 3 starter from the Ashley Gamester barn. Tobins Brownie (Marc Campbell) has post 5 in her first pari-mutuel start since Sept. 19 for new trainer Earl Watts.
The Post Time Picks go with Shake N Blake.
“Shake N Blake scooted up the passing lane to finish second by a neck two starts back and won from off-the-pace in her latest. She looks like she has their number so I’m putting her on top.”
The $3,200 top trot lines up in race 7 with Fight Song (Hughes) the 5-2 morning line favourite over post 3 starter Curadh (Ryan Desroche) and New Legacy (Dowling) with post 6.
