Creepin was first to the front and maintained his lead to the wire on a special Tuesday evening (Dec. 22) program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Dowling wasted no time sending his charge to the lead in the $2,300 featured pace and laid down splits of :28.4, :59.1 and 1:29.4 over a sloppy track rated off five seconds. Winter Blast came calling in the stretch drive but had to settle for second as Creepin held on to win in 2:00.4. Third went to Sports Royalty. Driver David Dowling trains Creepin for owners James Quinn of York, Jim Quinn of Vernon Bridge and Carl Peterson of Hunter River.
