Twin B Tuffenuff seeks redemption at Red Shores

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – He may have had his harness racing win streak cut short last week but Twin B Tuffenuff will be slated as the top choice in the Saturday evening Preferred Pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The capital oval has a 12-dash presentation starting at 6 P.M. with the $3,600 Preferred Pace headlining the card in race 11. Twin B Tuffenuff (Rock N Roll Heaven) is the morning line favourite in the event from post 4 with Gilles Barrieau back in the bike for trainer Ron Matheson and owner Pat Morris of Charlottetown. The eight-year-old stallion was a winner his last three starts in 2022 then finished fourth in his seasonal debut last week.

2022 Governor’s Plate Champion No Plan Intended (Up The Credit) returns to the East Coast and draws post 3 in the Saturday Preferred for driver Jason Hughes and trainer Jennifer Doyle. The gelding has been competing in Ontario for the first part of 2023 with two wins including a 1:54 flat victory at The Raceway at Western Fair District in London.

Time To Dance has post 6 with trainer Marc Campbell sitting in the race bike this week after winning his last two starts for catch drivers. The Invitational star will be seeking win number 45 of his career.

Matticulousn GB gets his first inside draw of 2023 as Ken Murphy will guide the Colin Johnson trainee from post 1. Rollwithhottytoddy (To be driven by Myles Heffernan Sr.) leaves from post 2 from the Trevor Hicken barn while Kenny Arsenault gets the catch driving call behind the Tom Weatherbie trained Fern Hill General from post 5.

The Post Time Picks like Twin B Tuffenuff to win.

“We went with Twin B Tuffenuff last week and he finished fourth but did fire home in a swift 27.4. He should be a little tighter this week and Barrieau knows him best so we’re jumping back on board.”

The race 6 Hillside Chevrolet Drive For Home Series has Fishermans Son joining the Melissa Rennie stable with post 6 for driver Adam Merner and Cape Breton owners Walter Walker and the Estate of Angus MacInnis. The Arthur Blue Chip three-year-old was a stakes star as a two-year-old in 2022 with six wins from just nine starts and $43,048 in the bank. His chief rivals on Saturday include Hippyjohn (Arsenault) and Sports Royalty (Campbell).
