3 Trials, 25 total entries looks like about 3-4 have a legit shot at winning, plenty of also rans …..

Why is the 3rd elimination 2 days later and will force them to race in the final 5 days later? If I’m reading that right, that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen!
-
They always do that.
Sat and Mon.
*American History heat 1 Sat rail (woodbine preferred)
*Covered Bridge heat 2 Sat post 6 (out of Yonkers /Stratton last yrs winner)
*Rocks Shining Star rail for Jamie Smith doing good things in u.s. plus '21 winner Smooth Lou headline Mon nights heat
- the final Sat Aug 17, at stroke of midnight Charlottetown PEI time

Horses used to race two or three times in one day. This is no big deal.

Rocks Shining Star struggled big time to get around Northfield

Leaving for PEI @ 3:00am Wednesday.

Best week of racing these is. A lot of fun. I'll be around there on the weekend. Might enjoy a few cock-tails.
-
Lance, are you a gay boy in bondage?
-
Been there a few times for the Gold Cup & Saucer. A lot of fun. Such excitement and passion. If you are going, enjoy and have a great time!

Has to be the first time ever without a double header Saturday? Less & less horses around, compounded year over year, short fields, depleted stakes program etc. Too bad because it’s one of a select few venues that promotes racing!

Double header on gold cup day on August 17. If my memory is correct, the only double header in the last few years has been gold cup final day.

Can you drive to PEI or do you have to swim?
-
Will Allard get the red carpet treatment again this year?
-
The greatest name of a race in history. Cold Cunt and Sausage.

Can you drive to PEI or do you have to swim?
I live in New England and it's going to be a 10 hour 35 minute drive for me. With layovers, a plane ride from Boston was going to take the same amount of time.
-
Some amazing ticket prices tonight, weather terrible all day but turned out great.
The trials are going to be pretty intense

Sat night
R15
First heat
SAVE AMERICA.#5 James Macdonald/Jamie Smith ((which fucker does this beard Jamie Smith impersonate).
Rolled over them after two weeks off.
BINGE ON YANKEE #8 Jody Jamieson gets position early from 8 post. Hangs on for second
AMERICAN HISTORY. unimpressive 3rd from rail
these three qualify for next sat.night.
R#16 coming. Another qualifier in moments
-
2nd heat
R16
#3 FORTIFY James McDonald once more/Chris McKay
#6 COVERED BRIDGE Jody J for Jeff Gillis..I'd think Jordan Stratton would be in next Sat night final again to drive last yrs winner again
#7 Barrieaus TwinBtuffenouff a quality 3rd the hard way.
These three are in next Sat night final
at midnight local time.
Last heat Mon night
-
love everything about this event
but i do agree just run the 3 elims tonight
makes it easier for drivers to stay as well
-
Do you love that announcer? I don't. Way over the top. Had to shut him up before the quarter both races.
-
ok, you got me there
that act wears thin quick
save it for once a year for the big race
-
Watch the Race 7 replay
Patty S back driving

Lol, he would do that back when they had $1000 purses
-
I for one was glad to see a lot of "local" participants----and not Moreau and Burke sending multiple horses.
Good for the sport and the business.
-
Open draw for the final
I think the winners should get 1-5 like most major stakes do now
not a huge fan of picking your post
but an elimination winner getting the 8 hole encourages horseman to race for the top 3 instead of winning in the elimination
-
The King won 5 so far today.
Pretty good for a guy that still
be serving a suspension.
Also does the new rule leaning back in the bike apply to him??
-
Wonder what Fortify will go off at in the final? I like him much the best tomorrow night.
-
AMAC will get parked out forever if he tries to leave. The only thing he knows.
-
There’s the gold cup & saucer girls, doesn’t appear to be any men in it like a couple years back! tmbz1
-
Covered Bridge
Great again.
-
Great to see enthusiastic fans 20 deep at the rails cheering away.
-
the demographic the bigger story..it's Old Home Week where the young come back to visit fam and friends or just about to leave for school or work out of area.
35 and under out in big numbers along w the 40 and ups ..thu - Sat and weather fantastic. Harness racing history there in PEI generations deep.
well done once more and in the feature the repeat winner from 23 Covered Bridge and Stratton. Logical top two choice.
