New Legacy provided part of an Adam Merner driving triple while winning the Thursday evening, July 11 featured event at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

In the $3,300 Open Trot, New Legacy guarded the rail from the start and sprint through fractions of :29.3, 1:00.2, 1:31.3 and 2:00 flat over a track rated two seconds off due to rain. Jennifer Doyle trains the Father Patrick six-year-old for owner Danny Birt of Earnscliffe, P.E.I. Irish Ray (Marc Campbell) closed up to finish a length short in second with Jessiejesorjessica (David Dowling) seeing her win streak cut short to finish third.

Merner also won the finale with Woodmere Rollily in 1:57 for trainer Melissa Rennie and had an ultra-impressive win with two-year-old Heston Blue Chip filly Lady Hess from the Jamie Smith barn. Lady Hess broke her maiden with a nine-length romp in 1:59.2 while closing out the mile in :27.2.

Campbell also recorded a driving triple with Skip Across (2:00.1) in race five for trainer Stanley Harper, The Lady Sheriff (1:58.4) in race seven for trainer Landon Campbell and Thinkingofyoubabe (1:56.3) in race 10 for conditioner Kyle Wilkie.
