Post 5 For San Pail In Allerage

After having shown his dominance over Ontario's top trotters, O'Brien Award winner San Pail has taken his act south of the border, and he has since forced his neigh-sayers to bite their tongues. Now, the Rod Hughes trainee is scheduled to take on six foes in the $145,000 Allerage Farms Open Trot, part of a solid Saturday card of racing at the Red Mile

.

The 12-race card will kick off with a 7:00 p.m. first-race post time.

The Allerage Trot (Race 4) will see San Pail and driver Randy Waples line up in Post 5. Arch Madness and pilot Brian Sears will line up to the direct inside of San Pail in Post 4, while Il Villaggio and driver Jody Jamieson will be directly to San Pail's outside in Post 6. Lucky Jim and pilot Andy Miller will be starting at the advantageous rail spot while Hot Shot Blue Chip will start from Post 7 for driver John Campbell. Take My Picture (to be driven by David Miller) and Lanson (Mike Lachance) have drawn Post 2 and 3, respectively.

The $183,000 Allerage Open Pace has also drawn quite a crowd, as the Gregg McNair-trained and Doug McNair-driven Aracache Hanover will take on a full field from Post 5. We Will See (PP1, R. Pierce), Dial Or Nodial (PP2, D. Miller), Atochia (PP3, D. Miller), Bettor Sweet (PP4, D. Dube), Mach Dreamer (PP6, R. Waples), One More Laugh (PP7, J. Campbell), Meirs Hanover (PP8, B, Sears), Foiled Again (PP9, Y. Gingras) and St Elmo Hero (PP10, J. Jamieson) are all set to compete.

Fresh off her win in the Jugette, the Casie Coleman-trained and David Miller-driven Idyllic has drawn Post 6 in a $153,000 division of the Bluegrass Stakes. The dash for three-year-old pacing fillies has drawn a field of 10 and has been carded as Race 6. The dash will also feature Jugette heat winner Swinging Beauty (PP10, D. McNair) and Shady Daisy winner Drop The Ball (PP8, Y. Gingras).
