MacPherson gets six wins at Summerside

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Driver Corey MacPherson gobbled up the majority of the harness racing program on a rescheduled Thursday program at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The Cornwall driver started the action off in race 1 and kept on winning with six victories on the 10-dash card. MacPherson clicked with the Mike Peters trained Usurper (Sportswriter, 2:06.2) in race 1 on a cold windy evening then followed it up with Allaboutthebet (All Bets Off, 2:03.4) in race 2 from the Jeff Holmes barn. Battle Of York (2:03.2) was a front-end winner in race 3 for MacPherson and trainer Taylor Doyle while race 5 had a popular Blue Monk (2:01.4) give the driver his fourth win, this time for trainer Jay Noye. MacPherson and Holmes teamed up again in race 6 with Shadows Terror (2:01.1) then Sharky (2:00.4) was victorious in race 8 from the John McGuirk stable.

In other action, Brookdale Johnny came from the back to win the $3,400 featured pace in race 9 with Paul Langille at the lines in 1:59.1 for trainer Phil Sizer and owners Doug Polley Jr., and Doug Polley Sr., of Nova Scotia. First Glance (Driven by David Dowling) was second ahead of Sauble Attack (Ken Murphy).

Live racing continues Saturday afternoon at 12:30 P.M., at Red Shores Saturday with the lone program of the weekend at the capital oval scheduled as a 16-dash Super Card.
