Miki Shan N and Hellabalou set to clash again

SUMMERSIDE, PE – The Preferred class will gather a powerful field Tuesday evening at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway with a pair of Atlantic Canadian stars set for a rematch.

The Prince County oval has a 14-dash presentation starting at 6 P.M., with the $6,250 featured pace lining up in race 13.

Miki Shan N is the top choice from post 6 with Corey MacPherson in the bike for trainer Chris Mackay and owners Kap Singh Racing Stable, Yorkton Heights, N.Y., Earl Hill Jr., Ohsweken, Ont., Stephen Klunowski, North York, Ont., and Donald G Mac Rae, Vernon Bridge, P.E.I. The New Zealand-bred son of Always B Miki was race timed in 1:54.2 in his first Atlantic Canadian start of the season on July 1, going all the way to victory to keep his perfect record intact on red soil. Miki Shan N is the defending Gold Cup and Saucer and Governor’s Plate champion and has never lost a race in Atlantic Canada as he preps for the upcoming 2026 Governor’s Plate eliminations on Sunday July 12.

Hellabalou will have post 5 with Paul Langille training and driving the millionaire son of Sweet Lou for owner Nikway Farms of St. Davids, N.L. The eight-year-old made his Red Shores debut on Canada Day at Summerside, finishing third.

Sure Thing Captain has post 2 for driver Jason Hughes and trainer Ralph Sweet while Tony Too Tall has rail control for driver Keith Legge and trainer Luke Burke. Doc Awesome leaves from post 4 with Adam Merner driving for trainer Darla MacEachern and Freemans Legacy has post 3 for trainer-driver Jaycob Sweet.

The Post Time Picks like Miki Shan N on top.

“Miki Shan N was unable to get the best of Hellabalou in Ohio but got the upper hand in his first start back on the Eastern Seaboard. Miki Shan N is a horse that has made a living out of finding ways to win when it matters but we know Hellabalou is about to make some noise now that he is acclimated to the Eastern Seaboard. This is going to be a top-level tussle whichever way it goes.”
