Some new track records were set at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park on Sept. 2. Jason Simmonds • The GuardianCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Southwind Arturo became the fastest three-year-old trotter in Atlantic Canadian harness racing history on a night where track records fell during Lady Slipper Stake action at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Southwind Arturo sat second for those first fractions, then pocket-pulled at the three-quarter pole to take command and win by over three lengths in a new three-year-old track and Atlantic trotting standard of 1:57.1.Up Helly AA held gamely to finish second with a race timing of 1:57.4 as the first Atlantic-bred three-year-old trotter to break the 1:58 barrier over an Atlantic track. Headline Howie was third.
Defriended held the record as the fastest three-year-old trotter ever on the eastern seaboard for two races with an open-length romp in 1:57.2 in Race 8 in a $7,500 Lady Slipper three-year-old filly trot class. Myles Heffernan Sr. was in the driver’s seat for the front-end run-away performance as the filly eclipsed her own former 1:58.4 track record for trainer Myles Heffernan Jr., and owner Jackie Heffernan of Summerville.
Irish Ray continued his perfect two-year-old campaign winning the lone $12,700 Lady Slipper two-year-old trotting colt event in 2:01.3 for trainer-driver Campbell and owner Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston. The son of Muscle Through It has yet to be defeated in six career outings.
