The $50,000 Premier’s Cup saw Bee Two Bee (Jason Hughes) get up for second ahead of Twin B Tuffenuff (Gilles Barrieau).
Tobins Chester (Jason Hughes) won his fifth-straight as the sophomore titans met again in the $30,000 Atlantic Breeders Crown Final for three-year-old pacing colts with a front-end victory of 1:54 for trainer Ashley Gamester and owner Donald MacRae of Vernon Bridge. The son of Shanghai Phil finished ahead of rivals Merigo Magic (Adam Merner) and Jackies Boy (Myles Heffernan Sr.).
Galway Girl controlled her destiny with a front-end victory in the $30,000 Atlantic Breeders Crown Final for three-year-old pacing fillies for trainer Brent Campbell and owners Brady Doyle, Kent MacDonald, Bernard MacDonald and Jacinta Campbell.
