Twin B Tuffenuff was among five winners driver Gilles Barrieau was aboard during the Saturday, July 6 afternoon program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Pointed forward from Post 5 in the featured $3,800 Preferred Handicap Pace, Twin B Tuffenuff led at every call to win by five lengths in 1:52.3 for driver Gilles Barrieau, trainer Ron Matheson and owner Pat Morris of Charlottetown, P.E.I. Impeccable Shadow (Adam Merner) closed sharply to finish second over Time To Dance (Marc Campbell).
Barrieau and Matheson also teamed up to win with Blood Money (1:53.2) in Race 10 and Selkirk Echo (1:56) in Race 11. Barrieau’s other driving victories among his five-win performance came from Starship Glyde (1:57.3) in Race 2 for trainer Earl Watts and with the Jeff Holmes-trained Allaboutthecash (1:56.4) in Race 3.
The Race 13 finale had a mishap in the final turn, as the first-over Howmac Agustus (Brad Smith) made a break in heavy traffic. This caused Midnight Mood (Ken Murphy) to go wide and pull up, while Shakemeup Hanover (Colin Sheppard) fell to the track but was able to immediately get back on his feet. Those two horses failed to finish, but walked off the track in good health, with just Shakemeup Hanover receiving some minor scrapes. The other six horses finished the mile with Blue Monk (Brodie MacPhee) winning in 1:56.4 for trainer Zac Noye.
