Redlandbethanyjean flies late for Charlottetown victory

CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Sitting chilly for the duration of the mile, Redlandbethanyjean (Artspeak) showed up for the final quarter to get it all in the harness racing featured pace Thursday (Oct. 12) evening at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Brodie MacPhee supplied the perfect steer behind in the $2,700 featured pace as Redlandbethanyjean was taken back at the start to sit fifth while You Aint Dolly (Driven by Kenny Arsenault) demanded the lead to the opening quarter of 27.3 then hit the half in 56.4.

The winning mare is owned by Redland Farms of Bible Hill, N.S. You Aint Dolly hung on for second while Woodmere Rolllily (Adam Merner) was third.
