CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Bee Two Bee kept the win streak alive in featured action Saturday afternoon at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The 12-dash program saw a razor-sharp 1:53.4 mile in the feature on a windy day in the capital as driver Jason Hughes snagged four winners.
Bee Two Bee ($2.90) was the star of the $5,100 featured pace in race 11, sprinting to the top and never looking back for driver Jason Hughes and trainer Ashley Gamester. The eight-year-old Sunshine Beach stallion rolled through fractions of 28, 56.3 and 1:25.4 before stopping the clock in 1:53.4, holding Merigo Magic (Driven by Adam Merner) at bay with Brookdale Johnny (Paul Langille) third. Donald MacRae of Vernon Bridge and Blair Maclauchlan of Charlottetown share ownership of the razor-sharp pacer who won his fifth straight.
A massive upset came in race 12 as Laughagain Hanover ($43.30) stormed home in 1:57.4 for Hughes and trainer Gamester to light up the tote board for owners MacRae of Vernon Bridge along with Blair and Eric Maclauchlan.
