Merigo Magic favoured in Preferred Pace

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Merigo Magic will look to knock off the current top-class prizewinner in the Tuesday evening featured pace at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The Prince County oval has a 13-dash presentation starting at 6 P.M., with the $6,250 Preferred 2 in race 12.

Merigo Magic is the 5-2 morning line favourite from post 5 with Adam Merner handling the lines from his own stable for owners Derrick Cameron, Mike May and Herman McQuaid. The five-year-old Tobago Cays gelding has been perfect in two starts since coming back to action this season, winning in 1:57.2 at Red Shores Charlottetown on May 30 then following it up with a 1:54.4 victory last week in Summerside.

His main rival will be reigning Red Shores Summerside top-class champion House Edge Hanover from post 2 with Jason Hughes in the bike for trainer Ron Matheson and owner Everett Hanson of Maugerville, N.B. The Betting Line gelding is riding a three-race win streak including the last two top events at Red Shores Summerside.

Louie The Great has rail control for driver Corey MacPherson, co-owner and trainer Les Waite and co-owners Leith and Spencer Waite. The Dancin Lou four-year-old sports 11 wins from 42 lifetime outings.

Doc Awesome leaves from post 3 with Paul Langille aboard for trainer Darla MacEachern, who co-owns with Allen Gaudet and Mike Cameron of Summerside. The gritty son of All Bets Off has been second in all three of his 2026 starts.

Rounding out the field is Sauble Attack with post 4 for driver Ken Murphy, trainer and co-owner Paul Biggar and co-owner Donald Callbeck of Summerside. A 28-time winner in his career, the Bettors Delight gelding has already won in 1:54.4 this season.

The Post Time Picks like Merigo Magic on top.

“Merigo Magic has been on top of his game so far in 2026 and his versatility will come into play tonight in a big way. He has the outside post but Merner has lots of options as his closing panels of 26 and change in his last two starts makes very clear. Knocking off House Edge Hanover will be no small task but we think this guy is ready for the battle.”
