CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Therealprincess (Source Of Pride) continued her perfect season in the Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s on a sensational Saturday (June 25) harness racing program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Corey MacPherson pointed his heavily favoured charge to the lead in the $34,000 Home Hardware Maritime Breeder’s three-year-old filly division and led every call to win in 1:56.1 over Malice Intent (Jason Hughes) and Mystical Gal (Dale Spence). Eddy Doucette co-owns and trains Therealprincess with co-owners Blaine Thibeau, Gordon MacLeod and Grant Mann.

The $14,200 Home Hardware Maritime Breeders three-year-old pacing colt divisions saw the fastest split claimed by Stronebridge Terror colt Middleton Terror in 1:54.2 for trainer-driver David Dowling and owners Frank Balcom, Sam Walsh and Kingsley Walsh.

Fern Hill Gusto, another son of Stonebridge Terror, won his division in 1:54.4 for trainer-driver Marc Campbell and owner Grayland Farm of Pugwash, N.S. Zendayacougarbeach was missionized in his split with a new lifetime best of 1:55 with Campbell at the controls of the Cougar Hall pacer for trainer David Kelly Sr., and owners Juanita and Alan MacLeod of Brackley.
