Fast Louie headlines Summerside season finale

SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — Fast Louie will look to return to the winner’s circle Sunday afternoon as Red Shores at Summerside Raceway closes out its 2026 racing season with a 13-dash program beginning at 12:30 P.M.

The Mike Ramsay trainee headlines the $6,600 featured race 12 pace with David Dowling back in the race bike from post 5. The five-year-old Sweet Lou gelding was a winner in 1:53.2 on Nov. 3 before returning last Tuesday to finish a close second to Phil My Beer in 1:53.3. Fast Louie has five victories and 10 second-place finishes this season for owners Max Webster Stable of Inverness, N.S., and Ryan McLaughlin of Cornwall, P.E.I.

Freemans Legacy (Jaycob Sweet) is another major player from post 4 after finishing second to Fast Louie on Nov. 3 and third behind Phil My Beer and Fast Louie in his latest outing. The Pang Shui gelding has nine victories this season for owner Mackenzie Arsenault of Alberton.

Sauble Attack (Ken Murphy) has rail control for trainer Paul Biggar, while Brookdale Johnny (Paul Langille) leaves from post 2 for trainer Phil Sizer. The Devils Cash (Brady Sweet) makes his Island return from post 3 after racing in Maine.

The Post Time Picks analyst sides with Fast Louie to take top honours.

“Fast Louie has been knocking heads with some of the toughest pacers on the Island and continues to put up strong miles. He was right there at the finish last week and this looks like an excellent spot for him to get back on the winning side. Expect Dowling to have him in striking position when it matters most.”

The $4,150 race 13 finale has First Glance (Brady Sweet) selected from post 5 for trainer Chris Davies. The eight-year-old Thinking Out Loud gelding has won his last two starts, including a 1:56 victory on Tuesday evening. Louie The Great (Corey MacPherson) is another contender from post 3 for trainer Leslie Waite, while Majestic Mason (Paul Langille) starts from post 6.

The final program will also put the finishing touches on the 2026 Summerside Raceway driving and training standings, with Paul Langille holding a commanding advantage in the driving race.

Langille enters the season finale with 61 victories from 300 starts, 10 wins ahead of Corey MacPherson, who has 51 victories from 295 drives. Ken Murphy sits third with 45 wins, followed by Marc Campbell with 38 and Jaycob Sweet with 33.

The training championship remains much closer, with Earl Watts holding a slim one-win advantage over Jaycob Sweet heading into the final card. Watts leads the standings with 26 victories from 88 starts, while Sweet has 25 wins from 132 starters.

Phil Sizer and George Rennison are tied for third with 17 training victories apiece, followed by Paul Langille with 15.

With just one program remaining, Watts has no entries on the Sunday card while Sweet has six starters in his bid to take the title.
