The Jonah Moase stable has another pacing star back on Prince Edward Island to compete in the afternoon feature event on Saturday at Red Shores’ Charlottetown Driving Park.
First-race post time for the 14-dash program is 12:30 p.m.
Modern Xhibit has been installed as the morning line favourite coming in off of a dazzling 1:55 victory at Rideau Carlton Raceway in Ottawa last week. Moase has secured the services of Walter Cheverie for the match-up which includes Forever Paradise (to be driven by Marc Campbell) from Post 2. The horses will be battling for top honours, as Forever Paradise sports an impressive resume with eight top-three finishes in his last nine assignments.
The Jason Hughes operation has two entries in the afternoon’s feature. Cambest Kisser has drawn the rail. Hughes has Kenny Arsenault listed to drive, while he will handle Narragansett in the power-packed field. Veronicavermillion (Brian MacPhee) and Pictonian Storm (Wade Sorrie) are both capable of pulling off upsets in the race.
Red Shores has announced that it is teaming up with Island Storm players on the afternoon program. The professional basketball team will be meeting fans and touring the paddock when they partner with horses and drivers for Race 8 and 9.
Billy Rush, a resident of Chicago, Illinois that plays forward with the squad, will get to cheer on favourite Artist List and driver Ken Murphy in Race 8, while the Storm’s Brandon Robinson drew the other favourite, The Big Bite (Corey MacPherson) in Race 9.
Trotter Frill Seeker will go after his fifth win in a row when he lines up behind the starting gate for Race 3. Kenny Arsenault will do the driving for the Ebbsfleet stables. The rest of the field will try to spoil the party. It includes I Aint No Lady (Brian MacPhee), JK Hustler (Walter Cheverie), Pleasure Girls (Corey MacPherson), JK Queen (Marc Campbell) and Caliban Hanover (Ron Gass).
