Cashendash Hanover snuck up the passing lane en route to posting a 1:52.2 victory in Monday’s feature race at Dover Downs.
After a :26 opening panel, the $17,500 claiming pace resulted into a battle between two 11-year-old veterans who have each earned around $500,000 during their careers.
Owner-trainer Dylan Davis’ Cashendash Hanover, an altered son of Western Hanover-Castanet Hall, is now at $500,669 lifetime after scoring for driver Tim Tetrick. The runner-up was Fancyfreeshark (Jonathan Roberts) with Lews Maverick (Montrell Teague) closing fast to be third.
In a $12,500 claimer, Sean Bier and Jet Blue Miracle got up in the same winning time of 1:52.2. The Jeremes Jet-Blue Spock gelding owned by R.J. Thomas and trained by Crissy Bier, held off Lee Is A Star (Tony Morgan) with Fire In The Belly (Tetrick) finishing third .
Magic Maddy won the day’s top trot in 1:55.3 for driver Tony Morgan. A four-year-old daughter of Majestic Son-Mystic Madeleine, Magic Maddy got to the front early and led the way to a new personal speed record for owners, trainer Vince Bradley and Lou Catana. Hannahs Charm (Tetrick) nipped My Big Kadillac (Vince Copeland) for second-place honours.
On Wednesday, a hard-hitting octet of fast females headed by Divas Image (Morgan), seeking a fifth straight $25,000 Mares Open win takes on three-time winner Terror At Night (Montrell Teague) and Shartin N (Tetrick)) a winner of her last two in a row.
