Windemere Skye, having completed a perfect sophomore stakes campaign, put her undefeated record on the line against open distaff company in the $6,350 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace and drubbed her four older rivals on Thursday, Oct. 29 at Charlottetown Driving Park.

Windemere Skye ($2.50) took command from the rail and carved out fractions of :27.4, :57.2 and 1:25.4 before drawing away by 5-3/4 lengths in 1:54.2. Brokeandoutofgas (Gilles Barrieau), a Preferred winner a week ago, finished second, with Badgirl Bridgette (Jason Hughes) third.
