Mr Irresistible over-powered pacesetter Adkins Hanover to win the Saturday feature in a sparking 1:54.3 at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Adkins Hanover (Corey MacPherson) cut impressive fractions of :27.2, :55.1 and 1:24.4 in the $2,400 Preferred Handicap before fading in the stretch to Mr Irresistible, driven by Jason Hughes for owner Danny Birt of Stratford, P.E.I. who was also celebrating his birthday. The five-year-son of Mister Big, conditioned by Jennifer Trainor, picked up his fifth win of the season including back-to-back feature victories. Eagle Jolt (Marc Campbell) finished third to complete the triactor.
