Dreamfair Zenfire goes out a champion

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – An impeccable career on the track closed down in winning fashion for Dreamfair Zenfire (Sunfire Blue Chip) Saturday afternoon (Dec. 23) at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The Happy Retirement Dreamfair Zenfire Pace was won in fitting fashion by the race’s namesake in a 1:56 in line to Marc Campbell for trainer Brent Campbell. The $3,300 class saw Acefortyfour Dome (Driven by Jason Hughes) finish second ahead of Sugar Bowl (Mark Bradley). The victory was Dreamfair Zenfire’s 57^th lifetime in her 149^th lifetime start for owner’s Ryan and Everett MacLeod of Souris. The seven-year-old track record holder is being retired to the broodmare ranks for the 2024 season at Burkie By The Bay Stables.

Campbell also won with Dorabella (2:00) for trainer Kyle Desroche and Dukeofthewest (2:01.1) from the Stacey Darrach barn for the triple.

Driver Hughes scored a grand slam on the program including a trio of wins with the Jennifer Doyle trained Glider Man (2:00.2), Elm Grove Mistress (1:57.4) and Traces Of Purple (1:58.2). Skip Across was the other Hughes driven winner as the Stanley Harper trainee won in 1:58.4.
