Red Shores prepares for All Star Cresting Prospect Trot Series

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Harness racing rookies and sophomores unite Thursday evening (Sept. 14) in All Star Cresting Prospect Trot Series action at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park. 

The capital oval has 12-dashes slated for a 6 P.M. opening post time with the first division of the $3,200 All Star Cresting Trot Series lining up in race 2. 

Oceanview Chip (Lookslikeachpndale) is the top selection in that event as the three-year-old rides into the dash on the heels of two second-place finishes from the Melissa Rennie stable. Bill Roloson of Belfast bred and co-owns the trotter with co-owner Joey Aylward of St. Louis, P.E.I., while Ken Murphy will handle his duties in the driver’s seat. The field includes another duo of three-year-old trotters along with two-year-old trotting talent WL Roseys Rocket (To be driven by Jason Hughes) and Howmac Swanky (Mike McGuigan). 

The other Allstar Cresting Prospect Trot Series division is in race 4 with another product of Oceanview Farms as the top choice in post 4 entry Oceanview Flanny (Murphy) for trainer Rennie and owners Bill and Scott Roloson of P.E.I., and Princeton Farms Inc., of Ontario. The mixed field of two and three-year-old trotters has rookie filly Cardigan Cutie (Mill Hill Willie, Corey MacPherson) as second choice off the rail along with three-year-old filly Mill Hill Aggie (Angus Hall, Paul Morrison) as third choice from post 2. 

The evening finale in race 12 carries a $2,200 purse with a full field of pacing mares featuring Super Hi-5 wagering. Ms Moyse is the morning line favourite with Mark Bradley in the race bike for trainer Rennie with post 3 for the ownership group of Olivia May, Quaid Hately and Andrew Cameron, all of Charlottetown. Her chief rivals are listed as post 4 starter Fluentocity (David Dowling) and post 7 entry Psili Ammos (Kenny Arsenault). 

The Post Time Picks think Ms Moyse can score her fourth win of the season in the evening finale. 

“Ms Moyse was on the edges last time out and couldn’t deliver as the chalk choice. Drops another notch and is going to turn it around at some point so she could flip the script tonight.” 

The nightcap field also includes Southern Heart (Hughes), Evening Maelstrom (Murphy), Topville Angelina (Gilles Barrieau), Traces Of Purple (Myles Heffernan Sr.) and Miss Sangria (MacPherson).
