Forwardly placed from the start, Collective Wisdom took the top event Saturday afternoon (Nov. 9) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Collective Wisdom left from post 4 in the $2,400 featured fillies and mares pace to strike the lead and put down a :29.3 opener over a sloppy track. Arc Light came first over and cleared to the lead at the half of :59.1, leaving Collective Wisdom second. Arc Light then battled with Dancers Pass through the three-quarters of 1:30.2 with Collective Wisdom taking the passing lane in the stretch to win in 2:01.4. Jackie Matheson trains the winning mare for owner Woodmere Farms. Second went to Dancers Pass with Mrs Dragonfire completing the healthy $703.20 triactor ticket.
Barrieau also won with Hp Rubis Joyce in 2:03.1 for Blaine Baglole, Labero in 2:06.4 for trainer Randy Van Meer and What A Babe from the Todd Walsh stable.
Freddie captured the $2,250 Open Trot in 2:06.2 for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and owner Three Wisemen Stable over Star Photo and Suicide Shift.
Trainer Kevin Gilles had a pair of winners from his Charlottetown barn, both with Hughes in the bike, as Rockrols Image won in 2:04.2 and March Magic scored a 2:08.3 victory for owners Kurt Hughes and Peter MacPhee.
