Big Surf claimed the Saturday night Invitational event in gate-to-wire fashion at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Driver Marc Campbell employed front end tactics in the $3,000 feature and rolled the Trevor Hicken trainee to the point, laying down stiff fractions of :26.4, :55 and 1:23.2 before stopping the timer in an impressive 1:53 flat. Im Drinkin Doubles (Marc Whebby), who was fifth on the outside past the three-quarter pole, finished second with Hicken’s other stable star All Turain (Corey MacPherson) rallying for third. The Rev and R Caan completed the order of finish. D GS Camme and Mach It Big were scratched due to sickness.
