CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – House Edge Hanover put in a jaw dropping performance to upset the Preferred Pace on Saturday evening at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The $5,500 Preferred 1 in Race 13 flipped the script when House Edge Hanover ($50.00) came second-over and tipped three-high off the last turn to uncork a 27-second closer and surge past the favourites in 1:54.3 for driver Ken Murphy, owner Everette Hanson and trainer Ron Matheson. Twin B Tuffenuff (Driven by Gilles Barrieau) hung on for second while Bee Two Bee (Jason Hughes) settled for third.
Marc Campbell showed up with a Saturday night driving hat trick as the leading reinsman won with two-year-old Kapueno ($2.50) up the passing lane in 1:57.3 in Race 6 for trainer Vaughan Doyle, then steered Howmac Powerball ($3.00) to a grinding 1:56.2 win from the George Rennison barn, then guided sophomore Phil My Beer ($3.10) to a 1:55.2 tally in Race 11 for trainer Landon Campbell.
Doyle doubled up as Nothing Bugs Me ($10.10) delivered a 1:54.2 victory with Corey MacPherson in the bike.
The Rennison barn also celebrated a pair of victories as Saulsbrook Bolt ($7.50) snagged a 1:56 score in Race 2 for driver Brady Sweet.
Paul Langille doubled as a trainer-driver with Im Hungry ($5.80 in 1:56.2 and 14-year-old pacer Well Did ($27.10) in the race 14 finale with a 1:56 clocking.
Live racing continues Sunday at Red Shores Summerside with a 4 P.M. post time, featuring the Atlantic Sires Stakes for two-year-old pacers.
