Final Lunge At Records Set For Red Shores New Year’s Eve

By Nicholas Oakes For Red Shores

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – With $4,610 to go, Marc Campbell will try to become the first Atlantic Canadian based driver to go over $1 million in seasonal earnings during the Tuesday evening New Year’s Eve program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The 14-dash Tuesday program gets underway at a special 6 P.M. post time.

The Orwell driver sits at $995,390 in driving earnings in 2024 as he sets his sights on a previously untouched plateau. Marc Campbell is also running away with the driving title for his 15th straight season with 171 victories, ahead of second place David Dowling at 127 wins.

The trainers race at Red Shores Charlottetown is a similar tale with Jennifer Doyle scoring an all-time record of 96 wins in 2024 over Ron Matheson at 63 wins and Jeff Holmes with 54 victories. Doyle also has 112 P.E.I., wins this year as she tries to overtake Marc Campbell’s record of 113 training wins between Charlottetown and Summerside in a calendar year.

The feature of the evening is the race 13 $4,600 Preferred with Roll Em (To be driven by Marc Campbell) looking to repeat for trainer and co-owners Brent Campbell and co-owners Savage Stable and Ryan MacLeod. The post 3 starter knocked off this class last week in 1:55.4.

Also in the field are Impeccable Shadow (Adam Merner), No Plan Intended (David Dowling), Bee Two Bee (Jason Hughes) and Blood Money (Gilles Barrieau).

The Post Time Picks are siding with Bee Two Bee to visit the winner’s circle again after winning three of his last five starts at this level.

“Bee Two Bee flew home in 27.4 to win two starts back and matched that final quarter speed last week but had to settle for third. It’s difficult to win from off-the-pace in a compact field so Hughes might change tactics this week and point his charge to the front. If he’s successful, he could go all the way.”
