Roll Em romps home in Canada Day feature

SUMMERSIDE, PE – The $4,300 featured pace on Canada Day Tuesday was all about Roll Em at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The 15-dash Canada Day program went under a short delay after race 4 due to a power outage in the area but the beat then went on as Roll Em ($2.50) captured race 14 in 1:53.1.

The Landon Campbell trainee went right to the front and controlled every step of the featured pace for driver Marc Campbell winning by two lengths in 1:53.1 off of splits in 27.1, 56.2 and 1:25.2. It was the fastest mile of the day and the first win of the season for the Time To Roll seven-year-old, who is co-owned by the Savage Stable, Brent Campbell and Ryan MacLeod.

Brookdale Johnny (Paul Langille) was second in a sharp effort, while Rollwithhottytoddy (Myles Heffernan Sr.) held third.
