Combos look to stay perfect at weekend

Charlottetown, PE – An action packed harness racing weekend slated for Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park will see a couple of driver and horse combinations looking to stay red hot in 2016. First race post time is 6pm.

The Saturday night feature Race 11, scheduled for post 8:51pm, will see Forever Paradise and driver Mike McGuigan try and keep their perfection in tack from post 3.

The six-year-old son of Western Paradise, who is conditioned by Kevin MacLean and owned by Reg Macpherson along side David and Aaron Mackenzie, has three victories from four starts this season but the lone defeat came when McGuigan was not in the bike.

The task will be tough this week as he'll be forced to do battle with Invitational mainstays Clic K, All Turain and Big Surf, newcomer Warrawee Phoenix and as well Waterside Light.

The 12-dash card will also play host to the Open Mares in Race 9, when the mainland invader Miss Oromocto looks to pick up back-to-back victories in the Red Shores Open Mare class. She'll face off against Best Risque, Brodys Leona and newcomer Windsun Kendra.

The duo has combined for five wins from five starts together since the meet started back up in late April for owner and trainer Ralph Sweet.
