I'm trying to ag results through a pipe using a regular expression but it is not working.

I am trying to get results starting with pro_store. I've read the broken pipe could be because of the ag stuff ending before the drake stuff but I don't get how and why if that's really what's happening.
Try with drake routes | ag "^ *pro_store" --page=less -r
Your output doesn't "start" with pro_store, but multiple spaces and then pro_store. That's why the [:space:]* addition to your regex.
