Jason Hughes dominated with six winners

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – It was ‘The Blue Knight,’ all night Saturday (Sep. 17) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park as harness racing driver 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 (Up The Credit).

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 (Marc Campbell) and Screen Test (Corey MacPherson). Doyle co-owns No Pan Intended with Danny Birt of Earnscliffe.

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

Campbell had a pair of wins from his own barn as Dreamfair Zenfire (Sunfire Blue Chip) won the $3,200 Fillies and Mares Preferred pace in 1:55.1 in race 8 and Ys Mathis (Sportswriter) was a 1:53.3 winner in race 9.

Gilles Barrieau won with Rollin Double (Roll With Joe) in a 1:56.4 win to give the New Brunswick native win number 4,992 of his career as he begins the countdown to 5,000 lifetime victories.
