Atlantic Sires Stakes Colts Show Speed in Summerside

Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old pacing colts met for racing action at Red Shores Summerside Raceway last night, demonstrating lots of speed on the PEI oval.
 
Jacobs Jackpot captured the first of three $9380 ‘A’ division events in a time of 1:56.4 with driver Ryan Campbell in the bike.  The ownership papers for the colt are held by James and Russell Copley of Inverness, NS.
 
The second ‘A’ event on the evening race card went to Beach Paradise and driver Danny Romo in a time of 1:57.3.  The black pacing colt is owned by Debbie Francis, Malcolm Isnor and Peter Francis of Windsor, NS.
 
Go Ahead also took first place honours in his division with driver Paul Langille holding the lines in a time of  1:56 for owner Diane Fillmore of Berwick, NS.
 
Atlantic Sires Stakes racing action resumes next Saturday when the three-year-old pacing fillies head to Norsthside Downs in North Sydney.  
 
Truro Raceway will then play host to several Atlantic Sires Stakes divisions during Atlantic Grand Circuit Week.  These events had been in question due to the proposed closure of  Truro Raceway, however, an eleventh hour agreement will see racing continue in Truro for at least another
two weeks, including Atlantic Grand Circuit Week.
