Big night for Campbell at CDP

- BY NICHOLAS OAKES FOR RED SHORES

CHARLOTTET­OWN - The King was back in action Thursday night capturing both Open events at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottet­own Driving Park.

Marc Campbell scored wins as trainer and driver in the $2,250 Open Mares Pace and the $1,700 Open Trot. Freddie bested his trotting rivals with a first-over score in 1:59.3 for owner Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston. Holy Molie Maggie (Gary Chappell) grabbed second with I Aint No Lady (Corey MacPherson) finishing third.

Woodmere Articblue was the other half of the Campbell double with a 1:57.4 victory in the Open Mares pace for owners Tanya Tremblett and Stevi Jardine of Nova Scotia. Prettyn-dangerous (Adam Merner) was second in her East Coast debut while third place went to Shadows Mystery (Kenny Arsenault). The Mike McGuigan stable had a large night at the capital oval with three winners for the trainer-driver all for owner Jamie Whalen of Vernon Bridge. McGuigan scored with Bet Er All in 2:00.2, Internal Check in 1:58.1 and Ameriquel in 1:59.2. Ameriquel is the only of the three Whalen does not solely own, as he shares ownership with Ingham Jenkins of Charlottet­own.

Oh To Be Me won the featured pacing event in 1:57.4 for trainer-driver-owner Chappell of Charlottet­own, over Elm Grove Kaboom (Earl Smith) and Simon Said (MacPherson).

Live racing continues Saturday evening at 6 P.M. in Charlottet­own and Sunday at 1 P.M. at the Summerside Raceway.
