Marc Campbell handled the driving duties for trainer Kevin MacLean and owner Reg MacPherson of Stratford, PEI. The duo crossed the finish line in 1:57.1  followed by Woodmere Ideal Art and Easy Flyer.

The other $10,320 ‘A’ division event on the afternoon race card went to last year’s Atlantic Breeders Crown champion, Half Cut, and driver Mark Bradley in a time of 1:57.4. The 3 year-old bay gelding is trained by Tom Weatherbie for owners Kyle and Joseph Gardiner, Michael Currie and Jerry MacKinnon, all of PEI.  Coming home second was Weekend Atnannies and third was String Busters.
