Red Shores Summerside hosted three divisions of the Maple Leaf Trot Wednesday night, with Saulsbrook Pippa, Phantom Beau and Oceanview Rose winning their respective assignments.

Oceanview Rose earned her big paycheque scoring in the final division in 2:05.4. Mike Stevenson, who recorded a driving double on the night, mapped out the one length victory for trainer-owner Bill Roloson of Belfast. BJ Comanche rallied back for second with Villager completing the triactor.

The evening feature went to Outside The Wire in 1:57.1. Driver Brodie MacPhee used rail control to his advantage putting the pacer on the point and cutting fractions of :28.4, :58.4 and 1:28.3. Tyber Champ was second with Keystone Nobility third. MacPhee did the driving for owners Andrew Avery, Freetown, PE and John Broderick, Manning, Alberta.
