from Meadowlands Media Relations

Up Front Jan-E-Lu [$16.60, $5.20, $2.20] added another winter series final to her laurels with a career best 1:52 effort in the $55,000 Night Styles on Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.

Up Front Jan-E-Lu saved ground early, before tipping to the outside on the final turn and charging home to a length and three-quarter tally over Captain Holly [$5.20, $2.20]. Heavy favorite Enhance The Night [$2.10] was all out to finish third after engaging in an early battle for the lead.

“I was able to get to the three-quarter pole without having to use her too much,” said winning driver, Brian Sears. “I was within striking distance and she came up with a big race tonight. I was fourth on the rail [heading into the stretch] and was able to slide out going into the last turn.”

Up Front Jan-E-Lu notched her fourth win in seven starts and her second stakes crown this season for Ed Mullinax of Amherst, Ohio. The Nat Varty trainee also captured the $50,000 White Ruffles Final on January 25. The four-year-old mare’s career bankroll is now $109,265.
