Published: August 31, 2017 11:42 pm EDT

The perfect season continues for Pappy Go Go after a victory in stakes action Thursday evening at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park and his stablemates were just as successful.

The three-year-old son of Tad The Stud was a 2:01.1 victor in his $8,000 Lady Slipper division for sophomore trotters. Marc Campbell trains and drives Pappy Go Go for owner Grayland Farm of Pugwash, N.S.

It was an incredible night for the Campbell stable as the capital oval’s leading reinsman sent out five horses from his own stable with them all victorious on the 12-dash card.

Buckaroo won a $7,600 Lady Slipper division for two-year-old trotters in 2:01.4 for owners Larry and Kathy Chappell of Marshfield, while Elm Grove Ladyluck was a 2:00.3 winner in a $1,250 conditioned event.

Freddie took top prize in the $1,850 Open trot with a 1:58.1 victory for owner Three Wisemen Stable of Kingston and Nikes Cowgirl capped off the program with a 1:58.2 win in a $1,400 race for owner Jamie Struthers of Port Morien, N.S.

In other Lady Slipper action, Daisy River won the other $7,600 two-year-old trot division in 2:04.3 for driver Paul Lanigan and owner-trainer William Lanigan of Montague.

Mile Hill Mac used tough front end fractions to win his $8,000 three-year-old Lady Slipper trot split in 2:02.2 for driver Kenny Arsenault and owner-trainer Paul Morrison of Cardigan.

Live racing continues Saturday at 6 p.m. at Red Shores Charlottetown.
