Charlottetown, PE — With a hard rush at the end of the mile, Covered Bridge captured the 64th edition of the Atlantic Lottery Gold Cup and Saucer in front of 25,000 fans in the early moments of Sunday at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

The C$100,000 East Coast Classic had American History (Dale Spence) leave hard to the front and hit fractions of :26.1 and :53.4 on the lead. Funatthebeach N (Scott Young) came calling first over and struck the front past three-quarters of 1:22.4 but Covered Bridge (Jordan Stratton) shook off cover to track down that leader in the stretch to win in 1:50.3. Funatthebeach N was second for a stone cold exactor from trainer Jeff Gillis and owner Mark Ford. PL Ozzy (Jody Jamieson) was third.

The 14-dash card had a new all-time record handle at Red Shores Charlottetown of $647,556, eclipsing the former record set in 1994.

Melissa Rennie won the Earl Smith Memorial Award for top trainer of Old Home Week. The Francis McIsaac Memorial Award for top driver of Old Home Week went to multiple time winner Marc Campbell. Brodie MacPhee topped the charts for the top percentage driver of the week.
