Arbitrage Hanover out to deliver Halloween delight

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Arbitrage Hanover will look to deliver a Halloween treat Saturday afternoon when the Preferred Pace takes centre stage at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The capital oval has a 12-dash presentation beginning at 12:30 P.M. with the $7,150 Preferred 2 Pace lining up in race 9.

Arbitrage Hanover is the top choice from post 5 with Ken Murphy in the driver’s seat. The veteran pacer will face a talented field that includes Miki Shan N (To be driven by Corey MacPherson) from post 4 and Papis Rocket (David Dowling) from post 2.

Papis Rocket enters the contest riding a two-race winning streak after dominating his latest assignment in 1:52.1 on Oct. 24. The four-year-old son of Papi Rob Hanover has banked $732,090 lifetime and will look to continue his winning ways against tougher opposition.

Blood Money (Adam Merner) has rail control after capturing his latest outing in 1:54.2 for trainer Ron Matheson. Hunters Hero (Marc Campbell) completes the field from post 3 for trainer Landon Campbell.

The Post Time Picks likes Arbitrage Hanover to take the top prize.

“Arbitrage Hanover has put together an awesome 2026 season and the numbers on the page tell the story. He’s on the outside looking in today but in a compact field like this expect him to be flying late and double up at Red Shores.”

The $5,250 race 12 finale has Phil My Beer as the 5-2 morning line favourite from post 4 with Marc Campbell driving for trainer Landon Campbell. The four-year-old son of Shanghai Phil was narrowly defeated in his latest outing after winning his previous start in 1:54.2.

Steamboat Springs (Adam Merner) is another top contender from post 3 while High Voltage Deo (Corey MacPherson) will have to overcome the outside post 8.

Navalny (Brady Sweet) has post 2 for trainer Jeff Holmes after winning his last two starts, including a 1:54.3 victory on Oct. 24. Millionaire pacer Bettor Than Spring (Ken Murphy) will leave from post 6 for trainer Tessa MacKinnon.

The $4,700 race 7 pace has One Wicked Man (Kenny Arsenault) as the Post Time Picks selection from post 4 for the Arsenault stable. House Edge Hanover (Marc Campbell) has rail control while Starship Glyde (Brady Sweet) leaves from post 6.

Mach Art In Motion (Corey MacPherson) is the leading selection in race 8 from post 5 while Spack Jarrow (Adam Merner) and Five Star Dragon (Paul Langille) are among the main challengers.

The opening race has Woodmere Kobe (Kenny Arsenault) as the 5-2 morning line favourite from post 4 for the Arsenault stable. Kapueno (Landon Campbell) and Unforgiven (Adam Merner) are also expected to be major factors.
