Lady Devine springs Tuesday upset

SUMMERSIDE, PE – Lady Devine delivered the biggest late-card surprise Tuesday evening at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.

In the $4,650 featured pace, driver David Dowling settled Lady Devine into the two-hole behind early pacesetter Sauble Attack (Driven by Ken Murphy) and stalked through splits of 28.2, 58 and 1:26.4 before angling out in the stretch and getting up by a head in 1:55.2 for trainer Jennifer Doyle.

The five-year-old daughter of Heston Blue Chip returned $27.20 to win for owners Doyle of Stratford and Max Webster Stable of Inverness, N.S. Sauble Attack finished second while favourite Malignity (Paul Langille) was third.
