CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – The Ron Matheson stable will send out the top three entrants in the Saturday afternoon featured pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Post time for the first of 12 dashes is 12:30 P.M.
The $5,100 race 11 feature is stacked with star power as Twin B Tuffenuff headlines the field from post 5 for driver Gilles Barrieau and trainer Matheson. The classy 10-year-old is one win shy of 50 lifetime victories for owner Pat Morris of Charlottetown. His latest effort saw him go all the way in 1:54.2 in last week’s feature.
Stablemate House Edge Hanover (To be driven by Ken Murphy) leaves from post 2 after back-to-back second-place finishes in feature events. The son of Betting Line boasts 20 wins from 49 career outings.
TH Boomtown (David Dowling) completes the Matheson trained trio from post 3 after finishing in the top-three in his last five starts.
Malignity has drawn post 4 with Paul Langille handling both training and driving duties for the son of Malicious after a 1:54.3 victory in his latest trip behind the starting gate.
Rail control belong to Nothing Bugs Me from the Vaughan Doyle barn with Marc Campbell in the seat as the driver leads all reinsman at Red Shores Charlottetown with 123 victories for his 16th straight season atop the leader board.
The Post Time Picks like House Edge Hanover to get it all.
“House Edge Hanover has a win and two seconds in his last four starts, and he’s been facing the best aged horses in those races, so with this inside post, I’m betting Kenny stalks from mid-pack and they rally late to get the job done.”
Earlier in the card, the race 5 Seniors Engagement Committee–City of Charlottetown pace carries a purse of $2,900 and features another well-matched group of seven.
Nothininmoderation (Barrieau) will attempt to return to top form for trainer Vaughan Doyle and owner Chris Kelly with rail control. The Western Canadian pacer was a five-time winner last season taking a mark of 1:54.2 at Fraser Downs in British Columbia.
Cowboy Logic lines up from post 5 with Steven Shepherd in the bike for trainer Harold Shepherd as the morning line favourite while Freight Air (Adam Merner) looks to poise a serious challenge from post 2. Merner currently sits five wins away from the 1,000 lifetime win plateau.
