Can Dreamfair Zenfire live up to favorite status?

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Dreamfair Zenfire will look to reignite her winning ways in the Thursday evening featured harness racing pace at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The Capital oval has a 12-dash card slated to get underway at 6 P.M. with the $3,100 Fillies and Mares preferred pace gathering the finest mares on the Eastern Seaboard in race 11.

Dreamfair Zenfire is installed as the morning line favourite from post 3 with Adam Merner getting the catch driving call for trainer Marc Campbell and owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris. The Sunfire Blue Chip mare will look for win number six on the season in her ninth start of the year.

The last time these mares met at the Truro Raceway on July 17 Ladylike got the best of them with that daughter of Shadow Play leaving from post 6 on Thursday for trainer Colin Johnson. Walter Cheverie will sit behind the 20-time winner for the first time in that dash.

Woodmere Skyroller (To be driven by Corey MacPherson) made up an incredible amount of ground in that Truro start then came back to Charlottetown to win in 1:58.1 over an off-track last week. She will leave from post 4 on Thursday. Peter MacPhee will put Dreamfair Zenfire on top of his Post Time Pick’s.

“When you look at Dreamfair Zenfire’s stats from the last two years she’s racked up an eye catching eighteen wins. There’s a strong chance Adam will be aiming for the front and if they do get to boss it expect to see them smiling for the camera.”

Also in the featured field are Arc Light (Campbell), Gonna Fool Ya (David Dowling), Larjon Legacy (Gilles Barrieau), Filly Forty Seven (Jason Hughes) and Roselily (Mark Bradley).

Freddie headlines the top trot in race 6 with $2,400 at stake. Campbell trains and drives the Majestic Son trotter for owner Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston as the horse looks for his 71st lifetime win. Mystifying has a four-race win streak in the balance in race 5 as the three-year-old daughter of Source Of Pride leaves from post 2 in the $2,400 event for driver Barrieau and trainer Darryl MacLean. The sophomore filly has won both her outings in Atlantic Sires Stakes A-action so far in 2021.
