CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – A trio of Jennifer Doyle trainees will lock bridles in the Thursday evening featured pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval will host its first Thursday evening program of the season with a 6 P.M., opening post time.
The featured Fillies and Mares Pace in race 9 for a $5,400 pot has Shake N Blake the prohibitive favourite from post 5 fresh off her third-place finish in the Saturday evening Preferred pace that was captured by red hot stallion Blood Money in 1:53.1. Shake N Blake was race timed in 1:54.4 on that evening from the Doyle outfit, with the trainer co-owning the six-year-old daughter of Hes Watching with Max Webster Stable of Inverness, N.S. The 27-time winner will have David Dowling at the grips this week as she faces four foes including a pair of stablemates.
Promise Me Later has rail control for trainer Luke Burke with Gilles Barrieau getting the catch driving call behind the daughter of Articulator.
The Ellen Stevenson trained Therealprincess has post 2 with Mike Downey in the bike behind the former Atlantic Canadian standout.
Sweet Molly (To be driven by Ken Murphy) holds down post 3 from the Doyle barn after a narrow second-place finish in her latest.
Post 4 belongs to Elm Grove Mistress (Brady Sweet) from the Doyle stable as the 11-year-old Articulator mare seeks win number 64 of her career.
The Post Time Picks go with Shake N Blake on top.
“Shake N Blake comes into this race off impressive back-to-back thirds against the boys in the Preferred 2, and now faces a compact field of mares for this assignment, so this should be light work for her tonight.”
The race 10 finale hosts a field of eight in the second Super Hi-5 dash of the evening. Miss Countour (Downey) is the top selection from post 2 as she takes on a talented cast of lasses including Starship Beauty (Paul Langille), Acefortyfour Dome (Jason Hughes) and Islebetu Islebeatu (Marc Campbell).
