CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Twin B Tuffenuff helped Gilles Barrieau pull in a glut of winners on the Saturday afternoon program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Pointed forward from post 5 in the $3,800 featured event, Twin B Tuffenuff led at every call to win by five-lengths in 1:52.3 for driver Barrieau, trainer Ron Matheson and owner Pat Morris of Charlottetown. Impeccable Shadow (Driven by 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 wins on the 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 saw a mishap in the final turn as the first-over Howmac Agustus (Brad Smith) made a break in heavy traffic, causing Midnight Mood (Ken Murphy) to go wide and pull up while Shakemeup Hanover (Colin Sheppard) fell to the track but 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.
Live racing continues Tuesday evening at 6 P.M. at Red Shores Summerside.
