Jason Ryan Notches 1,000th Win
Jason Ryan wasted no time securing his 1,000th career driving win on Saturday (June 22) at Hanover Raceway, reaching the milestone in the evening's first race.
Aboard Allan Breadner's D Gs Letitgo ($27.00) in the $4,600 conditioned pace for fillies and mares, Ryan angled first-over nearing a 1:01.2 half mile before applying pressure up the backstretch. D Gs Letitgo was able to wear down pacesetter St Lads Chloe (Alex Lilley) by a neck in 2:02.4.
The Guelph, Ont.-based Ryan, who began driving in 2009, enjoyed his best season in 2015, when he drove 206 winners in a New York-based campaign.
Ryan Holliday took top driving honours with five wins on the 10-race Hanover card, teaming up with Mae Belle Duke ($5.90, 1:58.4), Zen Da Ballykeel ($8.20, 1:58.1), Mystery Midnight ($6.10, 1:59.1), Fluentocity ($9.70, 2:00.2) and Lautner Seelster ($12.90, 1:58.1).
