Howmac Maximus takes on the Summerside feature

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Howmac Maximus (Articulator) and Damian MacLellan will try to take charge of the Tuesday evening featured harness racing event at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway. The top class will go to the gate at 9:36PM

The Prince County oval has a 14-dash presentation starting at 6 P.M. featuring National Caretaker Appreciation night with prize draws and broadcast highlights to caretakers presented by Standardbred Canada, Red Shores, PEI Harness Racing Industry Association and Prince County Horsemen’s Club.

The $3,600 top class has Howmac Maximus back in action after his $10,000 triumph in the P.E.I. Colt Stakes Graduate Series Gold final, presented by Kays Wholesale, on Aug. 31 at Red Shores Charlottetown. Damian MacLellan drives the son of Articulator for trainer Tammy Collings and owner Brett MacDonald of Freelton, Ont.

Tony Too Tall has taken on the Invitational ranks this season and has post 6 in the Tuesday evening feature field for trainer Trevor Hicken and driver Myles Heffernan Sr.

Rockin In Heaven four-year-old Brookdale Johnny (To be driven by Paul Langille) has post 3 from the Phil Sizer barn after scoring four wins in his last six starts.

Also in the top event are Three Trick Gainer (David Dowling), Sauble Attack (Ken Murphy) and Woodmere Ideal Art (Jason Hughes).

The Backstretch Beat likes Howmac Maximus to win.

“Howmac Maximus was an impressive front-end winner in the P.E.I. Colt Stakes Graduate Series final with a nice quarter leaving and a nice closing panel. Young MacLellan has been throwing up some solid numbers in the race bike this season and we think he can get the job done today in the Red Shores Summerside feature.”

Unbridled Fury makes her P.E.I., debut in race 6 for trainer-driver Dowling from post 3. The $2,750 event has the three-year-old daughter of Fear The Dragon moving into the ownership of Ken Graham of Kensington and Brittany Dowling of Springvale. She had been racing at Scioto Downs in Ohio.

The maiden class in race 4 has a pair of new Ontario pacers shipping in with post 4 starter Brookdale J Mac (Langille) who last raced at Georgian Downs and post 5 starter Jack Tar Moxie (Norris Rogers) who made both his career starts at Kawartha Downs in Peterborough.
