All Turain and driver Mike Stevenson held off a late-charging Cabo Pan Lucus to claim the feature event Saturday at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park. The time of the mile was 1:55.2.
Stevenson decided to go after the lead from post eight in the $2,400 Preferred and rallied the all-star pacer to the front, touching down on a hot opening quarter of :27.3 before a rated :56.4 half while the three-quarter marker flashed by in 1:26. Cabo Pan Lucas, under the command of Vince Poulton, took a shot at the fraction-setter, but settled for second with Astor completing the triactor for Jason Hughes. Hughes nailed the opening Daily Double on the program.
