Gonna Fool Ya has been nothing short of superb so far on P.E.I., but faces her greatest test to date on the first Thursday evening (May 20) card of the season at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 10-dash Thursday presentation gets underway at 6 p.m. (ADT) with Gonna Fool Ya getting pylon control in Race 9, the $2,850 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace. David Dowling trains and drives the daughter of Dream Away for owners Brittany Watts of Springvale, Rick Adams of Charlottetown and Matt and David Burke of Stratford. Dowling has steered the mare off the front to a pair of victories since the season opened at Red Shores and takes the hike in class on Thursday to take on some of the best mares on the Eastern Seaboard.
The 2021 season kicked off in grand fashion with an action packed Tuesday evening (Jan. 5) program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Benefitting from an early tussle, Winter Blast circled up to win the $2,600 featured pace on the 11-dash program to close out a training triple for conditioner Jennifer Doyle.
With No other tracks racing in the nation currently, the triple marks Doyle as the leading dash winning trainer in Canada. The Earnscliffe horsewoman and driver Ken Murphy teamed to win with Winter Blast in 1:58.4 after pacesetter Creepin took on favourite Rockin Indy and parked him to a cut throat :56.3 half-mile station. Winter Blast circled from last to win the race by two lengths over second-place Sports Royalty while Creepin held third.
