Lookout Hanover Equals World Record
In the featured pace on Thursday at Harrah’s Chester Casino and Racetrack, Lookout Hanover glided home over a conditioned field in a world record time of 1:49.2
.
A four-year-old The Panderosa stallion, Lookout Hanover left from post five for trainer Kevin McDermott with catch driver Corey Callahan. The time equals harness racing's world records for four-year-old stallions on a five-eighths mile track, shared by Art Official (2009, CHST - Ron Pierce) and Jennas Beach Boy (1996, RCR - Billy Fahy).
A Daily Double bet on Tim Curtin returned sweet dividends. The 51-year-old Illinois native steered the seasoned-trotter, Armbro Aristocrat ($18.60), to the wire in a seasonal best 1:55. His second trip to the winner’s circle came aboard Art Gram ($32.40), establishing a lifetime mark of 1:52.3 for the five-year-old Dictionary pacer. The combination in the daily double paid $625.40.
