Berazzled dazzles in Charlottet­own

- Compiled by Nicholas Oakes for Red Shores.

The Warren Grove gang came to play Thursday night at Red Shores at the Charlottet­own Driving Park as Berazzled took the fillies and mares open pace for trio of horsemen from the community.

With the scratch of Miss Kabana, the featured field was down to just four entries at post time and Warren Grove driver David Dowling patiently bided his time with Berazzled in the $2,900 race, getting away last.

Dreamfair Zenfire, a winner in this class last week, was hustled to the front by driver Marc Campbell and laid down unchalleng­ed splits of 28.3 and 58.1. When the field moved past the five-eighths pole, Berazzled made her move firstover and ate up ground on her way to engage the leader at the 1:27.4 three-quarter mile station.

Berazzled kicked clear in the stretch drive to win by more than three lengths in 1:55.3 with Dreamfair Zenfire second and pocket-sitter Falls

Creek (Adam Merner) third. Neal Moase of Warren Grove holds the ownership papers of the six-year-old Charley Barley mare while son Jonah Moase handles the training duties.

Dowling had three wins on the program, including a 1:57.1 romp with Medici Hanover for Brittany Watts of Warren Grove and with Woodmere Chella in 1:55.2 for Marvyn Webster of Kensington.

The $2,500 open trot went to Freddie, who stopped the clock in 1:58.2 for his third straight victory in this class for trainer-driver Campbell and owner Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston.

Driver Corey MacPherson opened up the card winning with JJ Gracie for Gordie Ford of Charlottet­own in 1:59.1. The victory was win No. 998 for the Cornwall driver as he approaches a career milestone.
