A first-over attack sealed the deal for Nogreatmischief in the Thursday night (July 20) feature at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Walter Cheverie engineered the winning trip in the $2,100 feature event aboard the six-year-old son of Bettors Delight that he also trains and co-owns with John Thompson of Charlottetown. Nogreatmischief chased down tempo setter Starcastic (Brian MacPhee) after fractions of :28.4, :57.1 and 1:26.3, then unleashed a :28.2 closing panel to win by a neck in 1:55.2. Elm Grove Kaboom (Earl Smith) got up for second with Narragansett (Jason Hughes) completing the triactor.

Holy Molie Maggie landed in the winner’s circle in the top trotting event of the night for a $1,700 pot. It was the first part of the Cheverie driving double feature sweep, as he was in the bike for the 1:59.4 victory for co-owner and trainer Jeff Holmes of Orwell and co-owner Trevor MacDonald of Vernon Bridge. Second place went to I Aint No Lady (Hughes), with Professor Gordon (Terry Gallant) getting the show prize.

Tempo Seelster won the $1,600 back-up pace in 1:56.2 to double up driver Hughes, who was at the lines for owner-trainer Vincent Poulton of Charlottetown. Simon Said (Cheverie) was second in the class with IDK (Ken Murphy) third.

Gary Chappell had a driving double on the card with Western Sexy (1:59.2) for Jason Sherry of Kensington and Female Finesse (1:58.1) for trainer William White of Murray River.
Ken Murphy was victorious back-to-back in races four and five, with Cajun Fiddle (2:00.4) for trainer Mike Campbell and with Diamond Mine (2:02.1) for Cindy MacDonald of Montague.
