Northfield, OH — Gelika Ann ($4.00) was the clear star of the night at Northfield Park on Tuesday, November 26, as she completed a sweep of the four preliminary legs of the November to Remember Series for pacing fillies and mares with an impressive 1:56.4 win.

The sophomore Memphis Flash filly, driven by Elliott Deaton, again overcame post seven, this time making a three-wide move up the backstretch to join early leader Standing Pretty. The two battled as a team for the final quarter-mile before Gelika Ann prevailed. No More Tears was third. Sue Stockwell trains the prohibitive favorite in next week’s final for Fred Polk.

In the final $3,000 trotting leg for fillies and mares, Victor Lengacher’s The Master’s Lady made it two in a row. A late comer to the series (she did not compete in the first two legs), she established herself as the likely favorite in next week’s final, as trainer/driver Andy Shetler powered her four-wide at three-quarters and drew off for the 2:02.1 win over Angel Annie, who overcame the ten hole, and Carry The Light.
