By Cindy Pierson Dulay, About.com Guide

The $427,000 Merrie Annabelle Stakes features 2-year-old filly trotters. 20-1 Grace Marie was quickest away and opened up a 1 1/4 length lead through an opening quarter in 28 2/5 before breaking stride, allowing 1-5 favorite Thatsnotmyname to take over the lead. Thatsnotmyname set fractions of 57 4/5 and 1:26 3/5 with 67-1 longest shot Angelette Hanover stalking 1 1/4 lengths behind. Entering the stretch, Thatsnotmyname opened up a 2 1/4 length lead and easily held off late-running 50-1 Creme de Cocoa by 1 1/4 length for the win in 1:55. It was another 3/4 length back to 10-1 Fitness Girl third.
