Charging hard at the end of the mile, Twin B Tuffenuff powered up to win the Monday (Aug. 7) evening Preferred Pace on a rescheduled program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
In the $3,800 Preferred Pace, race favourite Bee Two Bee (Jason Hughes) rushed off the gate to secure the lead and held down front-end splits of :27, :55.1 and 1:23.1. Twin B Tuffenuff sat third for the majority of the mile and angled out up the backside to get around pocket-sitter YS Mathis (Corey MacPherson) then duck into the two-hole behind Bee Two Bee. Barrieau then powered up in the stretch drive to win in 1:51.2 at 10-1 odds in preparation for the upcoming trials of the $100,000 Gold Cup and Saucer, presented by Atlantic Lottery. Bee Two Bee was second while Roll Em (Marc Campbell) closed up to finish third.

On the heels of hitting the 3,000 career-win mark in New Brunswick last week, Marc Campbell returned to his home track and scored a driving triple on the evening. Campbell clicked with Chikaboom (1:54.4) from his own barn as well as the Melissa Rennie-trained pair of Rose Run Quest (1:53.4) and Revenant (1:53.4).
Trainer Earl Watts doubled out of Windemere Farms in Springvale, P.E.I., as Starship Glyde (David Dowling) won the opener in 1:56.4 then Fern Hill Hero scored a 22-1 upset in race three in line to Patrick Shepherd.
Live harness racing continues Tuesday (Aug. 8) evening at Red Shores Summerside.
