Torrin Hanover roared widest through the lane to pull off a 7-1 upset in the $17,600 Open Pace on Friday (Jan. 7) at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.
While the early lead changed hands several times, Hunter Myers was content to save ground with Torrin Hanover, not even looking for backside cover. When Myers finally unleashed him, the seven-year-old Well Said-Transference gelding easily looped the field and triumphed in 1:53.3, two lengths better than Captain Cash. Carolina Beach completed the ticket.
