Lyons Tilt Hanover, driven by Austin Sorrie, watched the early action from the back of the pack then picked off rivals one by one to win Friday's $28,000 top class for female pacers at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Trailing the field that was reduced to seven with one scratch through a contested :28.1 opening quarter, Lyons Tilt Hanover launched her attack approaching the :57.3 midway mark and was within reach of runaway leader Better Be Donna N (James MacDonald) as they hit three-quarters in 1:26.4 while 2-1 favourite Awesome Hill (Sylvain Filion) scooted around a troubled Trafalgar (Trevor Henry) in the pocket spot. Lyons Tilt Hanover continued to progress and matched strides with Bettor Be Donna N turning for home before going on to score by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:55.1. The pylon-skimming Dabarndawgswatchin (Louis-Philippe Roy) came through for second over Awesome Hill as Better Be Donna N faded to fourth. 

Following a fourth placing finish in her Preferred debut last time out on March 18, Lyons Tilt Hanover was sent postward at odds of 4-1 and returned $10.30 to win.

Trained by Anthony Beaton for Threelyonsracing, the five-year-old Bettors Delight-Odds On Brittany mare sports a seasonal summary reading 3-2-2 from 11 starts with earnings climbing to $51,010. A 15-time career winner, she is closing in on a quarter of a million dollars in lifetime earnings.
