Trotting Series Continues Thursday At Red Shores

Published: October 11, 2023 04:39 pm EDT

The Thursday evening program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park features a pair of $3,200 All Star Cresting Prospect Trot Series divisions.

The capital oval has an 11-dash presentation beginning at 6 p.m. The series action takes place early in races two and four. 

In the first division, the Jamie Whalen-owned Gettin Lit is the 5-2 morning line favourite with rail control for trainer/driver Mike McGuigan. The son of E L Rocket is selected to win over Gettin Rocked (Myles Heffernan Sr.) and Mile Hill Gus (Corey MacPherson). 

Howmac Swanky is the 5-2 top choice in the other split with the inside draw, also for trainer-driver McGuigan. The Muscle Mass gelding is owned by Howmac Farms and Brian Foley. Other top entries are Mile Hill Aggie (Marc Campbell) and Camco Laraido (Ken Murphy). 

A quality group of aged pacing mares will take to the track for race 10 with $2,700 on the line. 

Elm Grove Mistress has a two-race win streak on the line from post five with David Dowling in the bike for conditioner Jennifer Doyle and owner Danny Birt. The daughter of Articulator boasts 32 lifetime victories from 123 starts. 

Sugar Bowl gets a $24,000 claiming tag for the dash as the 5-2 morning line favourite from post six for trainer/driver Jason Hughes after racing the Preferred Mares right down her program page. Redlandbethanyjean is another top contender with post three for the team of driver Brodie MacPhee and trainer Tom Weatherbie. 

The "Post Time Picks" like Sugar Bowl on top: "Sugar Bowl was in against the best mares in the region and really not that far way. Slides down the class ladder and Hughes will be pressing the pace so she could return to her winning ways.”
