CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. – There was nothing standing in the way of Woodmere Finesse over a sloppy track Thursday at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

One Hot Camshaft (Ken Murphy) was second followed by Drivingthedragon N (Jason Hughes). Jeff Lilley trains Woodmere Finesse for owner Edward Maher of Lower Sackville, N.S.

The program featured a pair of $2,500 classes for two-year-old pacers.
Westward Whim captured the $2,500 event for O’Brien eligible two-year-old pacing colts for driver Corey MacPherson, trainer John Clarey and owner Michael Clarey of Montague.
The Devils Cut and driver David Dowling overpowered the field of $2,500 Lady Slipper eligible two-year-old pacing fillies with a 2:04.1 win. The daughter of Malicious is owned and trained by Chris MacKay of French River.
