Charlottetown, PE – Lakota Hall, under the command of Walter Cheverie, won the Canada Games pace in 1:55.2 Saturday night at the Charlottetown Driving Park Entertainment Centre. Cheverie co-owns the winner with John Thompson, Charlottetown. Country Estate held on for second with Porthill Alf grabbing third.

Country Estate, with driver Brian MacPhee, burst off the wings to establish control of the pace through a :28.2 opening quarter and :58.2 half mile marker with Lakota Hall rolling fifth on the outside and Porthill Alf and Michael Stevenson following their cover from 6^th.

Country Estate hit the three-quarter pole with a two length lead in 1:26.4 before Lakota Hall caught them in late stretch to win the $2,400 purse. Representatives from the Canada Games committee were trackside for the cooler presentation.
