SUMMERSIDE – Under the command of Adam Merner, Fast N Victorious led at every station and bested his rivals in the featured pace on a special holiday Monday program at Red Shores at the Summerside Raceway.
Merner sent the Stephen Gass trainee to the front in the $2,200 featured pace and laid down fractions of 28.3, 57.4 and 1:26.3 with no serious challenged before stopping the clock in 1:57.1. Second went to White Fish Flash (driven by Norris Rogers) while Slide Guitar (David Dowling) was third to complete the $170 triactor. Kent and Owen Livingston of Cornwall hold the ownership papers of Fast N Victorious.
It was one of three wins on the program for Merner as he also scored with Anzula in 2:01.4 for trainer Ken Wilkie of Stratford and with Souverain in 1:59.3 for Phil Sizer of Kensington.
Driver David Dowling had a trio of trips to the winner’s circle after hitting the wire first with CL La Rousse in 1:59.3 for Reg Ferguson of Charlottetown, Soccer Hanover in 1:57.4 for Leith Waite of Summerside and with The Warden in 2:00 for trainer Chris MacKay of French River.
