SUMMERSIDE, PE – In an impressive feat, trainer Austin Sorrie left his Montague home this morning with three two-year-old pacers and will return home with three stakes winners after Sunday afternoon of harness racing action at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

The 17-year-old trainer scored his first win on the mega-stakes card in race 1 in a $5,500 Lasy Slipper Grassroots division for two-year-old pacing fillies. Camco Willow scored a one-length decision in that race with a time of 2:01 with Gordie Hennessey in the bike for owners Walter Simmons of Summerside and Tammy Collings of Hazel Brook.

The beat went on for Sorrie and Hennessey in race 6 for a purse of $5,000 in Joe O'Brien Memorial stakes grassroots action for two-year-old pacing colts. Dustylanesame was the winner in that contest in 2:01.1 by seven-lengths with the son of Ameripan Gigolo also owned by Simmons and Collings.

The card was capped off with JJ Powerball winning a $5,000 Joe O'Brien Grassroots division in 2:01.4 while finishing the triples for trainer Sorrie, driver Hennessey and owners Simmons and Collings.

In other action on the card, Royaltywestho won a $10,750 Lady Slipper Gold division in 1:58 with Walter Cheverie driving for owner-trainer Joe Baxter and co-owner Gregpry Francis of Windsor, N.S. Chocolate Terror won the other $10,750 Gold division in 2:02.3 with Paul Langille at the lines for trainer Cyril MacDonald and owner David Livingstone of Halifax, N.S.

The $9,400 Joe O'Brien Memorial Gold divisions for two-year-old pacing colts saw Dustylanewesty a winner in the first split for trainer-driver Clare MacDonald and owners Ian Tate of St. Andrews, N.S. and Riley Farms Ltd., of Summerside. Summerside two-year-old colt track record holder Sock It Away was a 1:59.1 winner in the other $9,400 O'Brien Gold split as Marc Campbell engineered the winning drive for trainer Kevin MacLean and owner Reg MacPherson of Stratford.

MacDonald and Campbell both had driving doubles while trainer Earl Watts had two wins on the program.
