CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Unhurried at the start, Glider Man trotted away with the Thursday evening feature at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
The evening’s top trot carried a $2,500 purse with Glider Man and driver Kenny Arsenault settling away fourth at the start while Missionoftheheart (David Dowling) set the tempo. Missionoftheheart cut out splits of 29.2 and 1:00.2 on the rain-soaked oval before Glider Man started his first-over attack to grab the lead at the 1:31 three-quarters and cruised home in 29.4 to win by three lengths in 2:00.4.
Hop Up (Corey MacPherson) finished second with Star Photo (Jason Hughes) third. Jennifer Doyle co-owns and trains Glider Man for co-owner and fellow Earnescliffe resident Danny Birt.
