Contechsfashion favoured in Autumn Leaves Series Final

Northfield, OH– Sophomore trotting fillies highlight the Wednesday evening show in the Autumn Leaves Series final.

Trainer Christopher Beaver conditions the 3-2 morning-line favorite Contechsfashion (Credit Fashion, Aaron Merriman) from post five. She was a nose shy of sweeping all four preliminary legs but in round two she was collared as the 1/9 favorite.

Trainer Herman Hagerman sends out the 3-1 2^nd choice Sliding Sister (Uncle Peter, Hunter Myers) from the rail. The filly is making her first start for Hagerman after posting three straight runner-up finishes with trainer Ron Burke.

Mike Micallef drives and trains longshot Itinerary (Uncle Peter) who is listed at 25-1 starting from the second tier. Itinerary’s lone win in the series came in the 2nd leg when she defeated the aforementioned Contechsfashion.
