East Rutherford, N.J. -- Elimination winners Thats All Moni
and Chezatter drew post positions 1 and 3 respectively in next week's $600,000
Breeders Crown for 2-year-old trotting fillies, to be held at the Meadowlands
as part of a blockbuster weekend.
Chezatter, who vaulted from the pocket to reel in
overwhelming favorite Ariana G in the night's first elimination, is one of two
Trond Smedshammer trainees to qualify for the final--the other being
Hillarmbro, while likely favorite Ariana G joins Princess Aurora and the
aforementioned Thats All Moni to give Jimmy Takter three starters.

In the $250,000 Crown for distaff pacers, Lady Shadow drew
post 2 after her resounding 7-3/4 length elimination victory. Frost Damage
Blues, who was elevated to first in the other elimination after unofficial
