Northfield, OH — The final series in first leg competition for the $100,000 November to Remember Series at Northfield wrapped up on Wednesday (November 7) with colt and gelding pacers competing. As has been true throughout the early rounds, favorites prevailed.

The first heat went to Imaybeit ($3.00), recently purchased by Phil Baldauf and John Knecht for trainer Mike Weller. The Earth Invasion 4-year-old posted a gate-to-wire, 1:56.1 win for Andy Shetler, who has returned to the Flying Turns after campaigning in Indiana. Soggy Bottom was second and BB Bunny Bell got the show money.

Humble Adoration ($3.60) stalked early, but took control past the half to post a 1:58 win over Linns Dream and Gator At The Door for Tom Hall. Trainer Erik Hall shares title on the King Gypsy gelding with Reginald Conklin.

The Stand Forever gelding Stand N Shout ($3.20) was triumphant in the November to Remember finale, leading at every call to post a career best equaling 1:56 win, his third straight. Lenny Rich trains the winner, who bested Tm A Nukes and Delmer, for David Miller, David J. Miller and Eva Shaw.
