The eight-year-old son of Aces Up used rail control to dictate the fractions for pilot Adam Merner and win in 2:01.1 for his eighth victory of the season.

The Gass trainee hooked up in an early battle with the gate-chasing Best Risque through :29.4, then it was time to grind with Eagle Jolt through 1:01.1 and three-quarters of ‪1:31.  

Gass had three wins as a trainer while Shelley and Alexis Gass won three races as owners and Merner scored twice in the sulky. 

The winning didn’t stop there for the Dusty Lane Farms crew, who has had a big season this year. Don MacNeill scored with trainee Nashurallability, and Corey Macpherson hit the winner’s circle three times, including two for the Gass clan. 

Freddie and driver Marc Campbell used a second quarter brush to take control of the open trot to put up a sparkling trip in 2:02.4. The four-year-old son of Majestic Son increased his win total to 17, giving him the most wins for a trotter on Canadian soil this year. 

Campbell, who is up for the O’Brien Award for horsemanship, is the trainer for the Three Wisemen Stable.

The Orwell native added to his record-setting total for most wins in a single season at CDP. He won three times on Saturday to increase his total for the season to 134.  

Red Shores will take a slight hiatus from racing next weekend and will return to action ‪on Monday, Dec 26. Post time is 12:30 p.m.
