CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The Jennifer Doyle Stable was not to be denied as her trainees closed out the season in style Sunday afternoon at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Mantario won the final dash of the meet at the capital oval as David Dowling steered the son of Sportswriter to a 1:57.4 victory over Adkins Hanover (Ambyr Campbell) and Sports Royalty (Gilles Barrieau). Doyle, who currently has a solid grip on the Charlottetown training standings, owns her trainee with Danny Birt of Earnscliffe.
Fellow Doyle trainee Chocolate Swirl went all the way in the $2,850 preferred pace with an identical 1:57.4 score for owners Doyle and Birt with Jason Hughes at the lines. Bugsy Maguire (Barrieau) rallied up to finish second while Pictonian Storm (Gordie Hennessey) completed the triactor ticket.
