The Roses Are Red eliminations for older pacing mares took place on Saturday night’s card at Mohawk Racetrack.  A group of 23 older pacing mares were split into three C$35,000 eliminations. Anndrovette, a three-time winner of the Roses Are Red, was able to get up in the final strides to prevail in a win photo over Sandbetweenurtoes. The Jeff Bamond Jr. trainee stopped the clock in 1:49 4/5 with driver Tim Tetrick handling the lines.  Waasmula finished third to qualify for the final. The elimination victory was the first win for the 9-year-old mare this season and her 45th overall. In the second split, Lady Shadow made a second quarter move to the lead and never looked back en route to a 1:50 2/5 victory. Driven by Doug McNair, the 5-year-old picked up her second win in eight outings Saturday.  The Ron Adams trainee hit the wire 3 1/4 lengths ahead of Yagonnakissmeornot and Wrangler Magic. McNair was right back in the winner’s circle in the final elimination with Solar Sister.  Trained by Gregg McNair, Solar Sister went gate-to-wire to score a 1:51 victory. The 4-year-old pacing mare finished a length and a half ahead of Katie Said and two lengths in front of Ms Mac N Cheese.  Solar Sister now has two wins in five starts this season.
