CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Sugar Bowl will headline a 16-dash Saturday afternoon Super Card at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval will hold one program on the weekend with the action scheduled to get underway at 12:30 P.M. Racing officials will be monitoring the forecast and track conditions with any changes being announced by 8am.
The $3,600 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace is carded as race 15 of the day with Sugar Bowl the 5-2 morning line favourite from post 4 for driver Gilles Barrieau, trainer Jeff Holmes and owners Brian MacPhee and Tommy Collings of Mount Stewart. The five-year-old daughter of Sweet Lou was a front-end winner her last start on Nov. 2 at Red Shores Charlottetown with a 1:55 flat trip.
Rosetown Mary (To be driven by Corey MacPherson) was second that day and has post 2 this week as the second choice by Race Secretary Gerard Smith.
Shake N Blake (David Dowling) sports nothing but top-three finishes down her page but has her toughest test to date with rail control on Saturday.
Maggiesdelight (Marc Campbell) is the post 3 entrant with Acefortyfour Dome (Jason Hughes) leaving from post 5 to complete the field.
The Post Time Picks like Rosetown Mary to get it all.
“Rosetown Mary flew home in 28 seconds to finish second to Sugar Bowl last week from post one and has drawn well again this week. She should get a great trip up close to the lead from post two so I’m giving her the nod for win.”
The Super Hi-5 Finale in race 16 has Woodmere Rollily the top selection from post 8 for trainer-driver Adam Merner and owners Marsha Knox and Cory Livingston. Her main foes include Topville Angelina (Barrieau) and The Lady Sheriff (Marc Campbell).
TH Boomtown will put his win streak to the test in race 13 for the team of trainer Ron Matheson and owners Dr. Don Ling and Wayne MacDougall. The three-year-old son of Captain Crunch has been perfect on red soil with five straight victories since shipping in from Delaware. TH Boomtown will have the driving services of Dowling this week from post 6.
