Easy Lover Hanover sat last for most of the mile before unleashing a :26.3 final frame and mowing down rivals one by one in the lane.
Physicallyinclined, who was riding a three-race winning streak coming into the contest, laid down fractions of :26.2, :54.2 and 1:22.3, but he couldn’t fend off the hard-charging Easy Lover Hanover in the closing strides. Doug McNair angled him off the rail in the lane and swung to the outside before storming home to win by 1-1/4 lengths over Physicallyinclined in 1:50.1. Nirvana Seelster was third.
