Woodbine Mohawk Park hosted 10 qualifying dashes on Friday, March 27 as more horses begin to return from winter training and prepare for spring racing.

Fastest of all on Friday: Calicojack Hanover, who dropped a full second from his 1:54.3 qualifying effort six days ago.

An off-the-pace performer in his first two appearances this year, Calicojack Hanover cut all the fractions on Friday for driver Tyler Jones. After clearing to the lead from post eight through a :28.4 opening panel, Calicojack Hanover handed over middle splits of :57.4 and 1:26 before pacing home in :27.3 for the 1:53.3 decision. Figment (Scott Young) followed in second throughout and finished 2-1/4 lengths in arrears with Ayeaye Captain Deo (James MacDonald) a strong-closing third in his four-year-old debut.

A finalist for Older Pacing Horse honours at the 2025 O'Brien Awards,  Calicojack Hanover (Captaintreacherous-Charisma Hanover) earned a speed badge of 1:49 during his four-year-old season for trainer Luc Blais and owner Determination of Montreal, Que. He enters his five-year-old season with more than $518,000 in purse earnings.
