Harness Racing PEI Sports

By Lee Drake

Charlottetown, PE – Yankee Sun, the star of the BM Stable, made no mistakes this week as the nine-year-old campaigner came from well of the pace to win the Saturday feature event in 1:59.4 for driver Kenny Arsenault at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.  Pans O Silver was second with Mighty and Strong completing the top three.

Yankee Sun was sitting fifth at the head of lane before capping off his late stretch rally to win for the second time in three starts.

There was an accident in race three when CLs Gracious Lady, with Mark Bradley in the bike, made a mis-cue and fell. Stracor couldn’t avoid the fallen horse and also went down throwing driver Jason Hughes to the track. The horses and drivers were not injured in the spill.

Arsenault, Corey MacPherson, Norris Rogers and Gary Chappell recorded driving doubles on the day.

The final card before the winter break is Saturday January 30^th. Post time is 1pm.
