P.E.I. Colt Stakes Trotters take centre stage

SUMMERSIDE, PE – The future stars of the trot will take over Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway Tuesday evening as the P.E.I. Colt Stakes headlines a 12-dash program during Governor’s Plate Week action.

The Prince County oval has a first race post time of 6 P.M., with five lucrative P.E.I. Colt Stakes divisions for two and three-year-old trotters carrying purses of $14,400 and $21,100.

One of the richest divisions of the evening is race 10 as three-year-old colt trotters square off for a $21,100 purse.

Little Louis will try to keep his new win streak going forward from post 7 for trainer Kuri White and owners East Coast Captains of Cornwall. Corey MacPherson drives the 11-time winning son of EL Rocket as he takes on seven rivals including West River Karuna (To be driven by Ken MacDonald) from post 4 and Hoponarocket (Gilles Barrieau) from post 2.

The three-year-old filly trot division lines up in race 5 for a $21,100 purse with Hallysgurl installed as the 5-2 morning line choice from post 2. Gilles Barrieau drives the daughter of Muscle Mass for trainer Darryl MacLean and owners Erika Bradley and Calvin Larkin. The filly is a perfect four-for-four in 2026 as she takes on post 4 starter Oceanview Banjo (Ryan Desroche) and post 7 entrant Emberlees Rocket (Marc Campbell).

The opening P.E.I. Colt Stakes division for two-year-old colt trotters is carded as race 2 for a $14,400 purse with Earl Speed looking start his career on the right foot from post 1 for trainer Ashley Gamester, driver Jason Hughes and owner Donald MacRae of Vernon Bridge.

The second two-year-old colt division arrives in race 7 where Massivearmour gets the nod from post 3 for Gilles Barrieau, trainer MacLean and owners Larkin and Bradley. The Muscle Mass colt is a full-brother to unbeaten sophomore Hallysgurl.

The lone two-year-old filly trot division is race 4 for $14,400 with Rockin Through It (Mike McGuigan) favoured from post 3 for owners Josh MacDonald and The Coles Stable.
