Euchred took control from the start and beat his Preferred foes Sunday afternoon (Nov. 17) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Gilles Barrieau was the hot driver of the day and Euchred did not let him down. The son of Shadow Play left well off the gate to make the lead in the $2,900 Preferred Pace and proceeded through splits of :28.3, :57.2 and 1:26.2. Woodmere Ideal Art took a run at Euchred in the final quarter but had to settle for second while race-favourite Rose Run Quest had too much ground to make up and finished third in the 1:55.2 mile. Walter Walker trains Euchred for owner Kayla Habicht Walker.

Barrieau made four trips to the winner’s circle on the 13-dash card. The New Brunswick native started the action when winning with Selkirk Echo in 2:00.2 for trainer Jackie Matheson. That duo teamed later on the card to win with Clare Hall Hanover in an open-length 1:59.3 score.

Barrieau’s other win was in a $1,750 trot class as Daisy River overcame an early break in stride to win in 2:04.1 for trainer William Lanigan.
