A perfect trip for Nogreatmischief paved the way to knock off the heavy favourite in the Sunday afternoon (Nov. 10) feature at Red Shores’ Charlottetown Driving Park.
Walter Cheverie sent Nogreatmischief off the gate and guarded the rail in the $2,900 featured event before releasing Woodmere Ideal Art (who was driven by Jason Hughes) to the front. The favoured Woodmere Ideal Art laid down splits of :28.2, :58.4 and 1:28.4 before Nogreatmischief tipped off his back to engage the leader in the stretch and get up to a neck decision in 1:58.1. Mick Dundee (Don MacNeill) completed the $113.50 triactor. Cheverie co-owns and trains Nogreatmischief for co-owner Brian Thompson of Charlottetown.
David Dowling was the most popular driver of the day with four winners on the card. He started off by winning with Silverhill Buddy in 1:57.3 for trainer David Myers of Charlottetown, followed by wins with Zack The Men in 1:58.2 from the Elton Millar stable of Tyne Valley and a 16-1 upset with Knockout Punch for Marvyn Webster of Kensington in 2:01.2. The final win for the Warren Grove driver was a dead-heat between Junebugs Baby and Forever Paradise (Gilles Barrieau) in 1:59.3.
Cornwall reinsman Corey MacPherson had three trips to the winner’s circle, including a dead-heat in the Lester Chappell Memorial Pace with Dangle Ona Dime for Darla MacEachern of Summerside, who landed on the line together with Complete Player (Mark Bradley) in 2:01.1. MacPherson also won with Screen Test in 1:58 for trainer Stephen Gass and Er Quinn in 2:00.2 for trainer Jeff Holmes.
