Time To Dance has shown he loves the winner’s circle as he found it again Saturday evening (July 22) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Pacing to the lead in the $3,800 Preferred Pace, post five starter Time To Dance commanded front fractions of :27.3, :57.1 and 1:25.3 before a hard-closing Stash It Away (Gilles Barrieau) came swinging at the finish. Final time was 1:53.2 with Time To Dance prevailing by a quarter-length over Stash It Away with No Plan Intended (David Dowling) third. Marc Campbell trains and drives Time To Dance for owners Brady Doyle, Brent Campbell, Kent MacDonald and Ryan MacLeod.
Campbell scored a driving triple on the night to now find himself 15 wins short of the 3,000 victory plateau. Campbell’s other Saturday wins included Acrobat Hanover (1:55.1 winning mile) for trainer Lenny Myers and Spack Jarrow (1:55.3) from the Raymond White barn.
Driver Gilles Barrieau and trainer Ron Matheson teamed for a pair of wins with Ashes To Ashes (1:58.2) in Race 11 and Boundtopanout (1:57.4) in Race 3.
On Time Delivery remains undefeated at this early point of career after recovering from an break in stride at the start to win in 2:03. Harold Shepherd drove the two-year-old Jimmy Freight colt for trainer Earl Watts.
