Corey MacPherson pointed his heavily favoured charge to the lead in the $34,000 Home Hardware Maritime Breeders division for three-year-old fillies and led every call to win in 1:56.1 over Malice Intent and Mystical Gal. Eddy Doucette co-owns and trains Therealprincess, a daughter of Source Of Pride, with co-owners Blaine Thibeau, Gordon MacLeod and Grant Mann.
