Dreamfair Zenfire kicked it into high gear with Marc Campbell in the bike to find herself in a tie for winningest horse in Canada after a Fillies and Mares Preferred victory on Saturday (Dec. 11) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Dreamfair Zenfire was fired up from the start in the $3,100 main event as Campbell pointed her to the lead and never looked back en route to a 1:56.1 win over an off-track for owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris. Ladylike (David Dowling) was second over Ms Moyse (Adam Merner).
There is no doubt Campbell gets the best out of the mare with the trainer sporting a 13-for-16 winning record on the year when he sat behind her in the race bike. The victory was number 16 of the overall campaign from 25 starts for Dreamfair Zenfire as she is now tied with Rideau Carleton Raceway claiming mare Ynothos for most wins in 2021 in the nation.
Campbell drove three winners on the day as he also scored with Dueling Banjos (1:59.3) for trainer Jay Noye and The Time To Win from the Ron Matheson barn.
Matheson had two training wins Saturday as Do U Mind (1:59.2) won Race 6 in line to Corey MacPherson.
Dowling was the other hot driver on the 10-dash program with a trio of trips to the winner’s circle. The Springvale pilot won with Jafar Du Lac (2:02.1) for trainer Frank Banks, Silverhill Buddy (1:59.1) for the pacer’s 30th lifetime win from the David Myers barn and in the finale with Ill Tell Me Ma (1:59.4) for trainer Colin Johnson.
