Jenn Doyle achieved a milestone in 2023 when the P.E.I native topped the charts as the leading trainer at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park; however, the achievement was not just a career-best for her own stable, but a new record in P.E.I's harness racing history.
A woman on made harness racing history in 2023, becoming the first female trainer to record the most wins on the season at the historic Charlottetown Driving Park. She made the leap to training full time in 2023, and she's happy that it paid off.
Coming from worst to first, Woodmere Skyroller delivered as the post time favourite in the top event of the evening Thursday at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Corey MacPherson supplied the winning steer for trainer Kevin MacLean and owner Reg MacPherson of Stratford as the champion daughter of Rollwithitharry won in 1:58.1 over a muddy track rated two-seconds off. Gonna Fool Ya (Driven by David Dowling) was first to the lead in the $2,900 Fillies and Mares preferred class and put down splits of :29.2 and :59.2 before Woodmere Skyroller appeared from the back of the pack and made front at the three-quarters of 1:28.4. Gonna Fool Ya fought back in the final panel to fall half-a-length short in second with Killean Finale (Ken Murphy) third.
