CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – After a sweeping performance in last week’s Thursday evening harness racing feature, Redlandbethany Jean (Artspeak) is lining herself up for a repeat this week at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The capital oval has a 10-dash presentation starting at 6 P.M. with the $2,800 featured pace lining up in race 9.
Brodie MacPhee is in the race bike behind Redlandbethany Jean for owner Redland Farms of Bible Hill, N.S. The three-year-old filly set an Atlantic record for two-year-old pacing fillies in 2022 when she won over the Truro Raceway in 1:54.4 and was a fifth shy last week with a 1:55 flat victory in Charlottetown during her sophomore campaign. Tom Weatherbie trains the post 2 starter.
The fast-leaving Elm Grove Mistress holds down post 3 from the Jennifer Doyle barn with Jason Hughes in the bike as the mare looks for win number nine of the season.
Rail control goes to Outrageous Style (To be driven by Gilles Barrieau) for trainer Ron Matheson. The Hes Watching four-year-old was a seven-time winner so far in 2023.
Ms Moyse (Adam Merner) has post 4 from the Melissa Rennie barn while Better Be In Love (Marc Campbell) leaves from post 5 for trainer Brendan Mullen. The outside post 6 goes to You Aint Dolly (Kenny Arsenault) who is having a career season on the track for trainer Brendan Curran. The Shadow Play seven-year-old paced right to her lifetime winning record last week in defeat, as she was second to Redlandbethany Jean while race timed in 1:55.1.
The Post Time Picks will take rail control in selecting Outrageous Style to get it all.
“Outrageous Style was storming on the end of it last week and less than two lengths away at the finish. Now she gets the rail and will be covered up so we’re betting she crosses the line first.”
The $2,900 top trot is in race 7 with Glider Man (Hughes) favoured from post 3 for co-owner and trainer Doyle and co-owner Danny Birt of Earnscliffe. His main foes are slated as Whole Nother (MacPhee) and Windmeredontuworry (Corey MacPherson).
