Lady Café Au Lait looks to cash in

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – A talented field of pacing mares lines up in the Thursday night harness racing feature as Lady Café Au Lait makes her East Coast debut at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The $5,550 Fillies & Mares Preferred pace headlines race 11 on the 12-dash card with first race post time at 6 P.M.

Lady Cafe Au Lait leaves from post 4 with Paul Langille in the bike for trainer Earl Watts as the morning line favourite. The mare ships in from the Woodbine Mohawk Park circuit where she was a winner her last two starts for trainer Bo Ford in 1:52.3 and 1:53.4. The daughter of Big Jim is owned by Windemere Farms and Matt and David Burke as she seeks win number 12 of her career.

Promise Me Later from post 3 was a winner at this level last week for driver Gilles Barrieau and trainer Luke Burke. The five-year-old daughter of Articulator has been razor sharp in recent weeks, hitting the ticket in all three of her recent starts.

Prince County Horsemen’s Club Aged pacing mare of the year, Brokeandoutofgas gets post 2 for rookie driver Landon Campbell, who scored the first win of his career on Saturday at Red Shores Charlottetown. The 18-year-old driver will sit behind the daughter of Arthur Blue Chip for trainer Tammy Collings.

Lady Devine (To Be Driven by Brady Sweet) has post 5 for trainer Jennifer Doyle while Shake N Blake gets post 6 with Ken Murphy driving from the Doyle barn. Another Doyle trainee, Sweet Molly, rounds out the field from the rail for driver David Dowling.

The Post Time Picks sides with Lady Café Au Lait in the feature.

“Lady Cafe Au Lait looked great in the qualifier and fired home in a snappy 27.1 to close it out. She lines up in the same spot and Langille gets the call to drive so don’t be shocked if they hit the wire first.”

The evening back-up class in race 9 has Moon Bound (Dowling) looking for her fourth straight in the $4,600 dash with rail control from the Doyle Barn. Nathaniel Smith and Greg Kirby of Maine share ownership in the four-year-old, who holds the distinction of the winningest offspring of Bet The Moon.
