Unbeaten Therealprincess ready for another Atlantic Sire Stakes test

SUMMERSIDE, PE – There has been nothing standing in the way of Therealprincess (Source Of Pride) so far in 2022 and that record will again go to the test Friday evening (Jul. 15) during Governor’s Plate Week harness racing at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The Prince County half-miler has 13-dashes on tap featuring the Atlantic Sires Stakes for three-year-old pacing fillies starting off at 6:30 P.M.

Therealprincess is the top choice in her $15,620 Atlantic Sires Stakes A-division for three-year-old pacing fillies in race 8 with Corey MacPherson aboard the Eddy Doucette trainee for Kensington owners Blaine Thibeau, Grant Mann and Gordon MacLeod in partnership with Doucette.

The lass has been unbeaten in four starts so far in 2022 including a 1:54.3 season’s best at the Truro Raceway in Nova Scotia during the first leg of the Atlantic Sires Stakes. Her top rivals are slated as rail sitter West River Glo (Stonebridge Terror, Clare MacDonald) and Cougar On A Terr (Cougar Hall, Danny Gillis).

The Backstretch Beat puts Therealprincess as the most probable winner on the night.

“How’s Therealprincess’ season going so far? She’s a perfect four for four and has wins at three different tracks. We’re wagering Corey will be aggressive off the wings and if they do get to boss it get ready for a Red Shores high five.”

The other $15,620 A-division lines up in race 10 with Malice Intent (Malicious) the top choice for driver Marc Campbell and trainer Danny Romo from post 6. Owned by Ian Banks, Ernest Gilhen and Tom Hawco in partnership with Romo, the filly has banked over $11,000 so far in 2022 but looks for her first win of the season. Her chief rivals are programmed as Orrsterror (Gilles Barrieau) and Tobins Diva (MacPherson).

The Colin ‘Coke’ Grady Memorial is in race 5 and Mermaid Magic (Big Jim) is picked to win the $1,850 event for driver Mark Bradley, trainer Tom Weatherbie and owners Ian Smith and David Kennedy.

Race 7 is the David Stevenson Memorial with Ironside Seelster (Thinking Out Loud) the top choice from post 5 in the $2,450 overnight class with Jason Hughes in the bike for trainer Duane MacEachern and owners Darla and Zoey MacEachern.

Mile Hill Willie (Armbro Barrister) has post 1 in the race 11 Andrew Perry Invitational Trot with $3,000 on the line. Paul Morrison co-owns and trains the six-year-old with John Breau of New Brunswick. The field of seven also includes Sailor Blue (Armbro Barrister, Ken Murphy) and Freddie (Majestic Son, Campbell).
