CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – Windemere Saddy (Malicious) and Whole Nother delivered powerhouse harness racing performances in the marquee events Tuesday night at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The four-year-old daughter of Malicious carved out splits of 28.2, 58.1 and 1:28.2 before closing out her rivals in 1:57.2, fending off a late bid from pocket-sitter Shake N Blake (Driven by David Dowling) to win for trainer Saul Lanigan and owners Shane Esson, Lanigan, Darcy Doyle and Isaac Schurman. Therealprincess (Gilles Barrieau) rallied for third.
