SUMMER SIDE, PE – Doc Awesome (All bets off) worked late into the night to set Tuesday’s top condition pace of $4,300 in Race 12 at Red Shores Summerside Raceway, capping off a great night for driver David Dowling.
Sitting sixth at the recommended pace, Dowling rode the All Bets Off gelding into the lead past five-eighths and kept the pedal to the metal to win in 1:55.3, with Sauble Attack (driven by Ken Murphy) second and American Risk (Brady Sweet) third. Doc Awesome ($14.40) was a one-and-three-quarter length winner for co-owner and trainer Darla MacEachern and co-owners Allen Gaudet and Mike Cameron.
DOC GREAT REPEAT
Dowling scripted a four-win night, stringing together a late-card heater as he also won with Twisted Joke ($3.60) in 1:58.4 for trainer Sifroi Melanson in race 9, Elm Grove Quest ($10.90) in 1:58.3 for Allan Jones in race 10 and Howmac Charmer ($4.10) at the top in 1:56.3 for trainer Kyle Williams in race 11.
With the four-pack, Dowling is in control of the drivers’ standings at the Prince County circuit with 53 wins this season, while MacPherson is now second with 52 wins and Paul Langille completes the top three with 49 trips to the winner’s circle. Earl Watts still has a 23-20 lead over Phil Sizer for leading training awards.
