Travis Cullen trainees Emmasphere and Sing Like An Angel took the top two spots in Northlands Park's $8,800 Fillies & Mares Open featured on Friday night.

Leaving from post four with her trainer in the sulky, Emmasphere carved out panels of :28.3, :59.4 and 1:28.2 en route to a 1:58.2 triumph over the "good" racing surface. Sing Like An Angel and Philip Giesbrecht finished over two lengths behind off a three-hole trip, edging out first over American Passion and pocket-sitter Blue Star Beauty in a photo finish for the runner-up honours.

Emmasphere paid $3.80 to win as the 4-5 post-time favourite. Moving up from the claiming ranks, it was her first Open victory in Alberta and 14th overall this year.

The five-year-old Pro Bono Best mare is owned by Trevor Williams of Winnipeg and Garett Isman of Gladstone, Manitoba.
