Maritime Breeders finals; grand-slam for Chappell

Charlottetown, PE – Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park played host to the Maritime Breeders finals over a sloppy track hit by heavy rain on the harness racing program. The track crew did a great job on the city oval.

Wicked Nick, under the command of Gary Chappell, captured the two-year-old Maritime Breeders $9,000 final over Mary Leah (Danny MacDonald) for his second in a row and seventh score of the season for owners Peter Buchanan, North Wiltshire, PE and Cameron Trail, O'Leary, PE. Chappell enjoyed a big night at the track making three more trips to the winner's circle with top place finishes aboard Pictonian Spartan, Sinners In Heaven and Abner The Great.

The three-year-old Maritime Breeders final in honor of Buddy Campbell, sponsored by Meridian Farms, went to Oceanview Pancho and driver Corey MacPherson. The trotter, who now has six victories this season, is co-owned by Paul Larrabee, Belle River and William Roloson, Belfast, PE.

When the feature went the gate the track was rated as sloppy with a four second variant. D GS Camme, with driver and co-owner Ron Matheson in the bike, over-powered pace setter Big Surf to win in 1:56.3. Ramblinglily (Ken Murphy) was third. Sent off at 6/5 odds, D GS Camme is trained by Jackie Matheson for owners Quentin and Hal Bevan and Tom Clark, Charlottetown, PE.

Corey MacPherson, Marc Campbell notched driving doubles on the rainy night.
