Middleton Terror came first over and took no prisoners on his way to victory in the Tuesday evening (June 13) Preferred 2 Pace at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
Middleton Terror and trainer-driver David Dowling were unhurried as the post-time favourite in the $3,600 featured pace, getting away fifth in the field of eight.

Navalny was second ahead of Moonwriter (Ken Murphy). Kingsley Walsh shares the ownership of Middleton Terror with Frank Balcom.
