The post draws for eliminations in both the Roses Are Red, for older pacing mares, and Armbro Flight, for older trotting mares, were conducted Tuesday at Mohawk Racetrack. Like the Maple Leaf Trot, just a single elimination was required for each with the top money winners this season receiving the option of a bye straight to the final.
To Helen Back, APs Money Maker and Shanghai Lil will take byes based on highest money earned and go directly into the $375,000(C) Roses Are Red final one week from Saturday. The $50,000(C) elimination will take place this Saturday with the top seven horses advancing to the rich final.
The field is as follows:
Post Horse (driver)
1 Chancey Lady (Luc Ouellette)
2 Ginger And Fred (Sylvain Filion)
3 My Red High Heels (Phil Hudon)
4 Tug River Princess (TBA)
5 Miss Scarlett (Rick Zeron)
6 Up Front Kellie Jo (Chris Christoforou)
7 Arts Diva (Paul MacDonell)
8 Forever Ivy (Charlie Norris)
