Reigning champion Emily Leak defended her title in the Powder Puff race at Fraser Downs last weekend.
For the third year in a row, Leak has won the all-female driver race, driving KG Mattattack to a close finish at 2:05:3.
Kim Schneider and Happy Again Mindale were second, while Alina McLeod and Red Star Brooklyn placed a close third.
The racers pulled in $1,180 in winnings for the Canadian Cancer Foundation's B.C./Yukon division.
The Feb. 9 charity harness race – held directly after the eighth race at Fraser Downs Racetrack – featured six drivers and horses.
Harness the Hope, presented by Nite of Hope, is an annual fundraiser for breast cancer research.
The event featured a brunch buffet, live racing, a silent auction, and blackjack tournament, along with the powder puff race. Proceeds from this year's event went towards the purchase of early breast cancer detection equipment.
