Under the command of trainer/driver Terry Gallant, the five-year-old Blissfull Hall gelding headed straight to the front from the outside Post 6 and carved out fractions of :28.2, :58.2 and 1:27 en route to victory in 1:56.3 by three-quarters of a length.
Sounding and Ron Matheson finished second with the pocket-sitting Negrito and Michael Stevenson holding on for third. It was a big day for the former New Brunswick based driver now residing on Prince Edward Island as Stevenson drove four winners on the day.
For Outlawpositivcharg, the win was his 16th of his career lifting his bankroll to nearly $70,000 for J Fred Lamont of Calgary, Alta.
