For All We Know captured the $2,250 Open Mares Pace on Sunday in a sparkling 1:58.1 at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

For All We Know’s stablemate, General Luckypercy, was third. For All We Know is owned by Bruce Wood.
The $2,000 back-up class went to The Big Bite and driver Mike Stevenson in a win photo over Rash B Havior and Oh To Be Me. The Big Bite stopped the timer in 2:00 for owners Jack Arsenault, Donna McIver, Edward Blaisdell and Deborah Wilson. The pacer is trained by Thane Arsenault.
Zip The Lip landed back in the winner’s circle taking the $1,850 Open Trot for driver Brian MacPhee in 2:02.4. MacPhee made a three-high move down the backstretch at the three-quarters to join the leaders and then drove off for his 11th victory of 2014 for trainer Don Sweet and his co-owner Orville Willis.
