SUMMERSIDE – Royaltywestho has cruised through the first part of the 2018 season dominating the three-year-old pacing filly division, but the former leading money-winning three-year-old in North America returned to form in Atlantic Sires Stakes action at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway as part of Governor’s Plate week racing on Friday evening.
Bettim Jackie had a solid winter season racing in Ontario, but has remained winless since coming back east for the start of the Atlantic Stakes’ season, but that all changed Friday night. The daughter of Andreoli Hanover was sent first-over in her $13,040 Atlantic Sires Stakes A Division by driver Gilles Barrieau, and powered past the undefeated Royaltywestho (driven by Walter Cheverie) going to three-quarters.

Bettim Jackie lengthened her advantage to a six-and-a-half length winning margin in 1:55.3, just two-fifths shy of Elm Grove Inarush's 2014 track record for sophomore pacing fillies. Royaltywestho had to settle for second while Woodmere Wyldstyle (Corey MacPherson) was third.
Bettim Jackie is co-owned and trained by Jeff Lilley of Milton for co-owners Blair MacLauchlan of Charlottetown and Danny Purcell of Newport, N.S.

Other division
The other $13,040 A Division was won by Chocolate Terror and trainer-driver Darren Crowe in a race that was full of action from the start. Heavily-favoured R Es Shabla (Mike McGuigan) made at the start to be a non-factor while Elm Grove Maddy (Dale Spence) tussled with Elm Grove Mistress (Earl Smith) to the quarter in 28.1.
Elm Grove Mistress was forced to take a seat in second while Elm Grove Maddy hit the half in 57.3, then was overtaken by Chocolate Terror to the outside before the three-quarters in 1:26.4 with the final time of 1:56.3. Tobins Terror (Gary Chappell) was second with the 93-1 shot Kahlua Morning (Jason Hughes) in third. Chocolate Terror is owned by David Livingstone of Halifax, N.S.
The trio of $2,500 B Divisions were claimed by Izzies Angel in 1:58.4 for trainer-driver Terry Gallant of Summerside, Shy Artie in 2:00.1 with Dale Spence driving for trainer Tommy Gunn of New Brunswick, and Howmac Impeccable in 2:00.4 for driver David Dowling and trainer Earl Watts of Hampshire.
