Breaktime Hanover waited patiently inside, than charged through the Lightning Lane to pull off the mild 5-1 upset in Thursday’s feature at The Meadows, a $13,500 Conditioned Pace.
Breaktime Hanover grabbed the early lead from post 7 but found himself shuffled to third at the three-quarters. The 6-year-old Somebeachsomewhere-Best Chance Hanna gelding surged when Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. pointed him inside and scored in 1:53.1. Statham N was second, 1/2 length back, with the first-over Bit Ofa Tiger N third.
Ron Burke trains Breaktime Hanover, who lifted his career bankroll to $175,337, for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Mike Wilder piloted four winners and Dave Palone three on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday, first post 1:05 p.m.
