Another track record fell on a special stakes Sunday (July 25) at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway featuring Canada’s oldest Standardbred stakes race, the P.E.I. Colt Stakes.

The 15-dash card saw stakes events in every race, with Defriended rewriting the track record for two-year-old fillies by way of a 2:04.1 performance in the day's fourth race. Myles Heffernan Sr. drove the record-setting daughter of Amigo Hall in her $7,000 P.E.I. Colt Stakes division for trainer Myles Heffernan Jr., and owner Jackie Heffernan. The mile lowered the former rookie filly record of 2:04.3, which was held jointly by Maple Leaf Spirit and Time Warp.

The $7,000 P.E.I. Colt Stakes two-year-old trot colt splits were won by Mr Miller (Corey MacPherson) in 2:08 and Up Helly AA (Ken MacDonald) in 2:04.4.

The day also saw two-year-old pacers in action, with JJ Scarlett upsetting the first $12,000 P.E.I. Colt Stakes two-year-old filly Gold division in 1:58 in line to Danny Gillis for trainer Walter Walker and the Wwggmacinnismackinon Stable.

Rhojo Moe was upset-minded in the other $12,000 Gold filly split with a 1:59.1 win for driver Marc Campbell, co-owner and trainer Sandy Baird and co-owner The Rhojo Group.

The $6,000 Grassroots filly divisions were won by JJ Linda (Walter Cheverie) in 1:59.4, Smokin Molly (David Dowling) in 2:00.4 and Therealprincess (MacPherson) in 1:58.2.

Fern Hill General continued his perfection in a $12,200 P.E.I. Colt Stakes two-year-old pacing colt Gold division with a 1:58.1 win for driver Brodie MacPhee, trainer Earl Smith, and owners Peter Smith and Gerald Morrissey.

St Charlesfireball delivered in his $12,200 Gold division in 1:57.1 for trainer-driver Campbell and owners Ryan and Everett MacLeod.

The $6,000 Grassroots colt divisions were claimed by Woodmere Gaelic (MacPhee) in 1:59, Stash It Away (Campbell) in 2:00.3, and Soul Assassin (Dowling) in 1:57.3.

In three-year-old trotting action, Dusty Lane Milo led at every call to win the $9,200 colt division in 2:02.2 for driver Adam Merner, trainer Melissa Rennie and owner Marsha Knox.

Rich Daydreams won the $9,200 three-year-old filly P.E.I. Colt Stakes division in 2:04 in line to trainer Kenny Arsenault for owner Wade Peconi.
