Published: September 18, 2022 12:25 am EDT

It was ‘The Blue Knight,’ all night Saturday (Sept. 18) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park as Jason Hughes drove home six winners. 

One of Hughes’ winners on the weekend presentation was in the $3,500 Preferred Pace with No Plan Intended. The Jennifer Doyle trainee led at every call in the featured pace to win handily by over two lengths in 1:53.2 over Stash It Away (Driven by Marc Campbell) and Screen Test (Corey MacPherson). Doyle co-owns the winning son of Up The Credit with Danny Birt of Earnscliffe. 

Merito Hanover captured the finale for driver Hughes with a 1:55.3 front-stepping score from the Trevor Hicken barn while that duo teamed up earlier on the night for a 1:57.1 win with Rollwithhottytoddy in Race 3. Hughes’ other wins were from his own Charlottetown stable with Spicey P in 1:56.3, Century Invictus in 1:55.3 and Tobins Party in a 2:01.4 maiden-breaking score. 

Campbell had a pair of wins from his own barn as Dreamfair Zenfire won the $3,200 Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace in 1:55.1 in Race 8 and Ys Mathis was a 1:53.3 winner in Race 9. 

Gilles Barrieau won with Rollin Double in a 1:56.4 win to give the New Brunswick native win No. 4,992 of his career as he begins the countdown to 5,000 victories. 

Live racing continues Monday evening at 6 p.m. (ADT) at Red Shores Summerside.
