Campbellville, ON --- The classy veteran pacing mare Anndrovette showed she was all heart completing the three-peat in the Roses Are Red Stakes Saturday night at Mohawk.


Anndrovette was pushed hard off the gate by driver Tim Tetrick and got to the front near the quarter pole. Leading the group of mares, Anndrovette took the field down to the three-quarter pole in 1:21.4 with Somwherovrarainbow and driver Brian Sears pressuring first-over.


The two mares would then hook up in the stretch with Somwhrovrarainbow taking a slight lead, but Anndrovette was dead game fighting back on the inside to retake the lead and win the Roses Are Red Stakes in 1:49.1.


“She’s got something most horses don’t and that’s determination,” said Tetrick following the race. “She just hates to lose and likes to race, she is just a great mare.”


Anndrovette has now won the last three editions of the Roses Are Red Stakes for owners Bamond Racing LLC of Brick, New Jersey and trainer PJ Fraley. The victory was the 39th of her career and pushes her lifetime earnings to over C$2.9 million.


“She’s just spectacular, I mean she never ceases to amaze me,” said owner Jeff Bamond following the race. “Every week you think she’s beat, she comes back, every week she is just phenomenal.”


Somwherovrarainbow held onto finish second, while Rocklamation, who left hard to the front from post ten, finished in the show spot.
