Half a length is all that separated rookie pacing filly Happy Hannah from securing a great post position to drawing the dreaded 10 hole in the $427,000 She’s A Great Lady final on Saturday night. Trained by Mark Steacy, Happy Hannah entered last Satur- day’s She’s A Great Lady eliminations with a victory and a pair of seconds in three starts. The daughter of Well Said was sent to the front by driver Randy Waples and led the field into the backstretch before heavy favorite Candlelight Dinner made a brush to the lead. Happy Hannah was in a fantastic spot to make the final following the undefeated leader. However, victory became an option when Candlelight Dinner began to fade at the top of the lane and Happy Hannah angled from the rail to take over top spot. Appearing to be on her way to a victory, the Steacy trainee got picked off in deep stretch by a charging That’s My Ticket and finished second.
