From the 2011 Awards Banquet, held December 6th at Red Shores Charlottetown.
My apologies for the pictures - the first four pictures of the Division winners and the Matinee Championship did not turn out. The rest were iffy.
A volunteer photographer is requested for the 2012 season and banquet!

Tuesday, December 6 at Red Shores Charlottetown is the date for the 2011 Matinee Track and PEIHRIA banquet. Order your tickets from Susan at 902-894-6511 or your track directors, but order them in advance.

Jimmy MacMillan gave another drivers clinic on how to rate a mile at the Matinee Championship finals at Summerside on Sunday afternoon, winning three of the four races. In the Department of Agriculture trophy race, he circled the field past the half with Jennifer and Robert Parsons’ Miller Miller, hanging on for the win despite a late charge by Ryan DesRoche with the Parsons’ Sammys Luck. MacMillan won the first race with Ivan MacMillan’s Camillion and the third with another Parsons horse, Aria Aria. Brandon Darrach was the spoiler in the second race, a hard-fought battle in the stretch bringing Rags To Britches home first for Rick and Nancy Dunville.

Congratulations to all the participants for a great summer with a very professional looking championship final.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF WIN FOR GOLD CUP TRAINER

The Gold Cup and Saucer made a visit to Pinette Raceway on Sunday, August 21st in the company of owner of Blissful Breeze, Leo Racicot. Racicot was there to watch his victorious trainer Dean Nixon follow in the footsteps of Mark MacDonald and make his first driving start in a race at Pinette.

The victory celebration the night before didn’t dull Nixon’s judgment and he broke his driving maiden with a wire-to-wire win with Emily Perry’s Missile in the fourth race, following it up with a stretch win from the pocket with Mary Jean Noye’s Coors Life. When asked which win was more satisfying, his driving win or the Gold Cup and Saucer, Nixon laughed and said, “This is more fun!”
