Second straight top pace score for Ellasen

WASHINGTON, PA, Sept. 21, 2021 — Ellasen got the worst of a three-wide skirmish for the early lead, but it didn’t bother her a bit as she cruised to her second straight harness racing victory in Tuesday’s feature at The Meadows, a $12,000 Filly & Mare Conditioned Pace.

Ellasen dueled with All Day Sunshine and Something Reel from the gate and was pushed to a 27 quarter before she could cross over.

Rather than tiring, the 7-year-old daughter of Big Bad John-So Very Nice widened late for Hunter Myers and defeated All Day Sunshine by 4 lengths in 1:52, matching her career best. Something Reel saved show.

Andy Rickert trains Ellasen, who now has banked $292,120 in her career, for Murdock Racing Stable.
