Hat-tricks for Campbell, Bradley and Arsenault

Charlottetown, PE – Eagle Jolt, under the command of harness racing driver Marc Campbell, made a big move down the backstretch to track down the pace setters and put away the field to win the Thursday feature at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park. The time of the mile was 1:58 flat. Van Zant (Ron Matheson) was second with fraction setter Cambest Kisser (Jason Hughes) third. Eagle Jolt is owned by Wilbur and Marie MacDonald, Orwell Cove, PE.

Campbell announced prior to the card that he was donating all his driving commissions to friend and fellow driver Corey MacPherson who has been sidelined after undergoing some medical treatment. Campbell drove Lyndale Royal to victory and the ownership group of Neal Moase and Brent Campbell also pledged their prize money to MacPherson. The leading driver at Charlottetown also paraded Fly With Max to victory lane. The fundraiser efforts were just over $1,000. A special presentation will be made Saturday.

Mark Bradley had a driving triple on the program. Bradley scored with G Js Winning Fool, Lisfinny and Starlight Violet.

Frill Seeker, with Kenny Arsenault in the bike, captured the trot class going gate to wire in 2:03.1 for EbbsFleet Stables, Stratford, Ontario. Arsenault also guided long-shot Woodmere No Fool to top honors paying $47.20 to win and Cheyenne Ford closed out the program.
