The $8,500 Cecil Ladner Memorial Invitational was contested on a sloppy track rated three seconds off.

Roll Em and driver Mark Campbell continued to dominate the front with splits of :59.1, 1:29 and 1:57 for a one-length decision over Twin B Tuffenuff (Gilles Barrieau) while Rollwithhottytoddy (Myles Heffernan Sr.) was third.
Brent Campbell co-owns and trains Roll Em for co-owners Brady Doyle, Ryan MacLeod and Savage Stable. It was the third straight win for the six-year-old Indiana-bred son of Time To Roll.
Driver Campbell and trainer Campbell also teamed up to win the ninth race with Pauls Crown in 2:03.2. Avatar J was another Marc Campbell-driven winner as part of a triple in race five for trainer Darren Smith in the P.E.I. Humane Society Pace.
