Rollwithhottytoddy goes for third straight

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – After switching up tactics his last two starts, Rollwithhottytoddy (Rollwithitharry) will try to make it three-straight in the Saturday afternoon (Jan. 20) harness racing feature at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Trainer Trevor Hicken has been undefeated so far since the calendar switched to 2024 with a perfect four-for-four record during the first two cards of the year. Myles Heffernan Sr., will be back in the bike behind Rollwithhottytoddy from post 6 in the $3,600 Saturday afternoon Preferred Pace carded as race 12 with a first race post time of 12:30 P.M. for the 13-dash presentation. Hicken also owns the 16-time winner as the pacer boasts over $87,000 in career earnings.

Burn Out Hanover (To be driven by Brady Sweet) has rail control for Red Shores Charlottetown leading trainer Jeff Holmes. Post 2 has Mr Rielly (Corey MacPherson) with Mantario (Damian MacLellan) leaving from post 3 from the Jennifer Doyle barn. 

Laughagain Hanover holds downs post 4 for trainer-driver Jason Hughes while Blood Money (David Dowling) rounds out the field with post 5 for trainer Ron Matheson. 

The Post Time Picks like Rollwithhottytoddy in the win position. 

“Rollwithhottytoddy is coming into this race off back-to-back wins. He won on the front-end two starts back and converted from a pocket trip to win last week. I think he goes back to the front today and wires the field.” 

Race 6 is the Rotary Radio Bingo Volunteers Pace which will see Judicial installed as the morning line favourite with post 3 for the father-son duo of trainer Harold Shepherd and driver Patrick Shepherd. The elder Shepherd shares ownership of the son of A Rocknroll Dance with Maurica McCabe, Wayne MacPherson and Angus Birt. Other top entries include Woodmere Xspeedia (Ken Murphy) and Dukeofthewest (Hughes).
