Leaving from Post 3 in the $2,300 Canada Day feature at the Prince County oval, Flash In The Pang brushed to the lead before the opening quarter and waltzed through splits of 30.1, 59.1 and 1:28.1 before opening up by four lengths to win in 1:57.
Slide Guitar (David Dowling) was second while Hemingway (Adam Merner) finished third. Molly Murphy trains Flash In The Pang for owner Hughie Murphy of Augustine Cove.
Dowling took control of the leader’s board for drivers at the Prince County oval with two wins on the card, but it was the Blue Knight, Jason Hughes, who scored a driving grand slam to bring himself to 1,498 lifetime victories in the bike.
Hughes opened the card by winning with his own Roxy Lund in 2:01.3, followed by Phil Dorleans in 1:59.1 for Donald Milligan of Tyne Valley, Southfield Sandy in 1:57.4 for Glen MacKay of Summerside and closed the card out with Noudidnt Blue Chip in 1:57.1 for trainer Jonah Moase of Warren Grove.
