CHARLOTTETOWN, PE \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Bettor Than Spring continued his red-hot form Saturday in the Preferred Pace during Harness The Hope at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.<\/p>\n

The Trevor Hicken trained Bettor Than Spring ($3.10) left no doubt in the $5,500 featured event, taking command early and never looking back en route to a sparkling 1:52.3 victory for driver Myles Heffernan Sr. The 10-year-old son of Bettors Delight was making just his second start on red soil and improved his local record to two-for-two.<\/p>\n

All Bets On Tex (Driven by Adam Merner) chased gamely but came up a length-and-a-half short to settle for second while Roll Em (Marc Campbell) came first-over to hold third in the compact five-horse field.<\/p>\n

Perry Burke of Grosse-\u00cele, Quebec, owns the classy winning pacer, who recorded his 10th\u00a0win of 2025 and 63rd\u00a0lifetime.<\/p>\n

The $4,000 back-up class saw Malignity ($3.50) and trainer-driver Paul Langille go all the way in 1:52.4 for owners Debbie Francis, Rosanne Langille and Chantel Langille. Elroy Shiner (Brady Sweet) sat in the pocket for second with Tradition (Marc Campbell) completing the triactor ticket.<\/p>\n

Paul Langille was a three-time winner in the race bike steering Impeccable Shadow ($4.50) on top in race 7 from his own barn in a 1:54.4 clocking and Windemere Britt ($8.40) to a win in race 6 from the Kyle Williams barn in 2:01.1.<\/p>\n

Trainer Ashley Gamester doubled on the card winning with Laughagain Hanover ($4.10) in line to Jason Hughes in 1:56 in race 12 and a race 4 conquest with Pop The Pin ($3.90) in 1:59.2 for driver Merner.<\/p>\n

The Ron Matheson stable doubled up winning with Rockemsockem Scott ($3.80) in 1:55.3 and The Sports Desk ($11.80) in 1:57.1, both in line to Gilles Barrieau. Barrieau scored four wins on the day as his own Woodmere Rocketman ($3.70) claimed race 5 in 1:57.3 and Nothing Bugs Me ($3.10) scored in 1:55.2 in race 3 for trainer Vaughan Doyle.<\/p>\n

Doyle also visited the winner\u2019s circle with Five Star Dragon ($27.40) as Ryan Desroche guided the pacer to victory in 1:57.3.<\/p>\n

Live racing continues Tuesday evening at 6 P.M., at Red Shores Summerside.<\/p>\n
