Free legged pacer heads Summerside feature

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Quick footed free-legged pacer Wind Blown takes on a hot Woodmere Denny in the Tuesday evening feature as harness racing resumes at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The Prince County oval comes back to action with an 11-dash card at 6 P.M., after Old Home Week racing came to a close Saturday at Red Shores Charlottetown.

Race 10 is the featured pace of the evening with a $3,200 purse and Wind Blown (Mach Three) is the morning line favourite for owners Doug Polley Jr., and Doug Polley Sr., of Nova Scotia. The Polley family now entrusts the free-legged pacer with trainer Phil Sizer, who has listed Paul Langille to drive the winner of 23-races fresh off a second-place finish in Charlottetown in 1:53.4. Wind Blown has post 3 for Tuesday’s contest.

Woodmere Denny rides a two-race win streak into Tuesday’s card with post 4 for the Husband-wife team of driver Dale Spence and trainer MacKenzie Spence.

Also in the field are Hunger Pangs (To be driven by Brady Sweet), Starshipzodiac (David Dowling) and Woodmere Ideal Art (Jason Hughes).

The Backstretch Beat goes with Woodmere Denny to extend his streak to three.

“Woodmere Denny has been undefeated with Spence in the bike since the Ontario driver trekked home in early August for Old Home Week. This pacer looks to be feeling the rhythm with a pair of 1:54 victories in his last two and we say they score their third straight tonight.”

The program also features the P.E.I. qualifying leg of the Gamester-Pinkney Cup in races 6 and 8. The competition for drivers 30 years and younger with under 100 wins has drivers Jaycob Sweet, Zach Conway, Luke Armstrong, Kyle Desroche, Brady Sweet, Kyle Mason and Brett Clow vying for the top four spots to qualify for the August 27 final set for Red Shores Summerside.
