Campbell triples at Charlottetown

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Blood Money (Sweet Lou) completed a Marc Campbell driving triple as the harness racing stallion turned back stablemate and heavy favourite Twin B Tuffenuff in the Saturday evening (May 11) Preferred at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The $3,600 feature had Spectrum Seelster (Driven by David Dowling) pounce to the lead in 28.3 followed by a half of 57.4. The Ron Matheson trained duo of Blood Money (Campbell) and Twin B Tuffenuff (Gilles Barrieau) followed patiently in third and fourth, respectively, in the early going before Campbell pulled the right line heading to the three-quarters of 1:26.4. The first-over Blood Money took control in the stretch at 4-1 odds and fought off the heavily favoured second-over Twin B Tuffenuff to win in 1:55.1 for owner Dr. Mitchell Downey of Saint John, N.B. Spectrum Seelster held on for third.

Campbell also won earlier on the card with the Brent Campbell trained Pendleton Rodeo (1:55.1) in race 4 and with JK Express (1:56.2) for trainer Jared Perrot in race 7.

Trainer Matheson had a pair of victories as Selkirk Echo (Barrieau) also won in race 9 in 1:55.3.
