D Gs Camme looked ready for prime time. The pacer, who was making only his third start of 2015, wired the top class in a dazzling 1:54.4 Saturday at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Gilles Barrieau was in the bike for trainer Jackie Matheson and the local ownership group of Tom Clark, Quentin and Hal Bevan and Ron Matheson.
It was an impressive performance given D Gs Camme raced with broken equipment after the tire blew on the race bike. Big Surf (Marc Campbell) applied some pressure down the backstretch en route to the third panel, but he settled for second while Si Semalu (Jason Hughes) was third. Expect to see this line up go head to head in Governor’s Plate elimination action in Summerside next Sunday.
In other action, Ramblinglily is three-for-three in 2015 when she won the Open Mares feature in 1:56.1 for driver Walter Cheverie, trainer Allan Jones and his co-owner Norman Leger of Shediac, N.B. For All We Know (Gary Chappell) was second with Willow Warrior (Mark Bradley) third.
Osprey Impact (Paul Larrabee) recorded another victory in her trot assignment while Frill Seeker (Kenny Arsenault) took top honours in the Open Trot in 2:00.1.
Barrieau had a driving double on the 12-dash card. The wager was $48,860.
