D Gs Camme back on home turf for feature

Charlottetown, PE – Fresh off his harness racing track record tying performance in the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Invitation, D Gs Camme will return to home turf on Saturday night at Red Shores Charlottetown.

The six-year-old son of Blissfull Hall, who toyed with his rivals last time out clocking a season best score of 1:53.2, has drawn into post 7 for the Race 11 Preferred 1 pace on Saturday night.

Owned by Quentin and Hal Bevan, Ron Matheson and Tom Clarke, D Gs Camme has yet to miss the board from his six starts in 2016. The Jackie Matheson trainee who will be piloted by Gilles Barrieau will square off with Smiley Bayama, Oh To Be Me, Waterside Light, Athletic Putnam, All Turain and Cecil Ladner winner OK Galahad.

The 12-dash card gets under way at 6 p.m. and will feature six of the best mares the Maritimes has to offer in the $2,350 Open Mares Race 7.

Matheson trainee Shadows Mystery is labeled as the 5-2 morning line choice for owner Gord Ford. Barrieau handles the driving assignment. Ramblinglily has drawn post 5 with Walter Cheverie in the bike for trainer Alan Jones. Open Mares mainstay Best Risque scores post 4 for trainer Brian Ladner and driver Jason Hughes.

Some of the best three-year-old colts the Maritimes has to offer this season will head post ward in race 9. Magical Cowboy will put his three-race win streak on the line against stable mate Beaus Cowboy and the Kenny Arsenault trained and driver Lukes Cowboy.

'King of the Rock' set to take on Summerside bearcats; Willie searches for 60

Another action packed card is set for Sunday afternoon at Red Shores Summerside with the 12-dash card getting underway at 1 p.m.

The Backstretch Beat has landed on Inspired Art as their top billing in the Allison 'Hook' Walsh Memorial, for owner Elizabeth Courtney, trainer Marc Campbell and catch-driver Ryan Desroche.

"The 'King of the Rock' is back in Summerside and he's had three bang up performances, in which he has yet to miss the board," said the Beat. "Despite the youngster getting the catch drive, the old horses class will kick in to cover that off."

The Newfoundland invader who won nine of ten races last season will have to content with the hometown horse Motorino from the rail.

The Terry Gallant trainee has been no worse than third in his past three starts and has finished second at the $12 , 000 claiming ranks in his past two outings. Ken Murphy picks up the catch mount.

Veteran free-legged pacer Blu Meadow Willie will search for his 60th lifetime win for the ownership group of Bob and Brenda Macinnis of Summerside. The winner of over $91, 000 lifetime has drawn into post 5 in the 12th race finale with Walter Cheverie handling the driving duties.
