Published: June 23, 2016 08:44 pm EDT

Jeb won the Thursday feature in a dramatic stretch drive that had to be determined by a photo finish Thursday at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Driven by Jason Hughes, Jeb came flying on the outside through the lane to clip Eagle Jolt (Marc Campbell) and Starcastic (Ron Matheson) on the line. The time of the mile was 1:58.2.

Hughes, who recorded a training and driving triple on the night, did the driving for owners Robi Hughes, Blair and Eric MacLaughlan.

The trotters took the spotlight on four occasions over the 11 dash card with top honours going to Wheres The Partyat (Gary Chappell), Wedgewood (Chappell), Holy Molie Maggie (Corey MacPherson) and Thunderaway (Jason Hughes).

Gary Chappell, Corey MacPherson and Marc Campbell posted driving doubles.

Racing returns Saturday with the Atlantic Regional Driving Championship and the Cecil Ladner Memorial Invitational. Post time is 6 p.m.
