October 29, 2004
By Kimberly Rinker

Four fields of American National horses are set for the Finals on November 6 at Balmoral Park. Set to go are the $180,000 Two-Year-Old American National Filly Pace, and the $235,000 American National Aged Trot, the $160,000 American National Freshman Filly Trot and the $150,000 American National Freshman Colt & Gelding Trot.

The freshman pace for colts and the aged pace both require eliminations, scheduled for Saturday, October 30 at Balmoral, with each field garnering three horses each who earned "byes" via their seasonal earnings.

The field of freshman pacing fillies includes recent Breeders Crown champion Restive Hanover, who was supplemented to the American National and who is conditioned by Erv Miller and driven by Andy Miller. Below are all the fields:
