Dowling in top form at Summerside

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Harness racing driver David Dowling was in top form on a rescheduled Sunday afternoon (June 26) program at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway sweeping the top events while scoring a driving triple.

Dowling bided his time in the $2,900 top class with Moonwriter, stalking from third while Dylan Sam (Ken Murphy) carved out the early fractions of 28.1, 58 and 1:27.3.

Moonwriter pounced in the stretch drive with an individually timed final quarter of 28.1 for a nose decision in 1:56.2 over Three Truths (Marc Campbell) with Dylan Sam third. Colin Johnson trains the veteran Sportswriter pacer for owner Debbie Element of Village Green.

Dowling and Johnson also won the back-up pace with Panimal Kingdom in 1:55.4. Ubettimagoodone (Jason Hughes) was second in the $2,500 event ahead of Wild River Coyotee (Corey MacPherson).

Dowling’s other win came in a 1:56 score for Rock The Baby from the Earl Watts stable.
