Teaching the Standardbred to canter

Okay so I've had the pleasure of buying a 5 year old Standardbred mare, named Luna. Shes been a pacer, but had surgery done on her knee, so she was forced to quit. I use a single joint bit, with a Pelham cheek piece, still she is refusing to slow down when she trots, because she just wants to canter all the time. I taught her to canter on her ;left lead, but we just need to work on her right lead cantering, which Is the hard part. Does anyone know how to help standardbreds confidently canter both ways? and to held her turn more tightly?
