CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. – As soon as Perfect Escape established himself with the lead it was lights out on the Thursday evening feature at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Gilles Barrieau guarded his Post 1 position with Perfect Escape off the gate in the $2,200 race, laying down unchallenged fractions of 28.3, 57.2 and 1:26.1 before drawing clear by five lengths to score in 1:55.3. Tobinator (Corey MacPherson) sat in the pocket to finish second while Nogreatmischief (Walter Cheverie) completed the triactor.
Perfect Escape is trained by Jackie Matheson for owners Jack Keenan of Stratford and Joseph Dahl of Burlington, Ont.
Freddie put together a narrow victory in the $1,950 open trot from his assigned Post 7. Marc Campbell was in the bike for the neck decision in 2:01.1 over Holy Molie Maggie (Cheverie) and Isabella Hanover (Adam Merner). Freddie is owned by Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston, who also won with Keepcalmndanceon in 1:59.1 with trainer-driver Campbell.
