The now 6-year-old mare won five consecutive races from October 30-December 18 for trainer Bruce Riegle, all starting from post 5 outward. She earned nearly $240,000 for the year and is nearing $900,000 for her career.

Lous Game n Match was the winningest trotter and finished tied with pacer Tell Us More for third most overall with an identical 18-for-36 record.

Stablemates Downbytheseaside and Fear The Dragon, both trained by Brian Brown, topped the 2017 earnings list with $1.6 and $1.35 million, respectively. Ariana G, Hannelore Hanover, Devious Man and Hunstville all earned millionaire status, while What The Hill ($948k) made it six 3-year-olds in the top seven earners for the year
