On Thursday, September 14, Ellisarro Hanover, who was making his debut in elite company at the Meadows, showed persuasively that he belongs when he captured the $22,500 Preferred Handicap Trot.
Although Ellisarro Hanover had won four straight, all those victories were in high-level claimers.
On Thursday, he fearlessly moved first-over from fourth for driver Eric Ledford and held off the lightning-lane charge of 7-5 favourite Sir Caviar.
Ellisarro Hanover defeated Sir Caviar by a nose in a career-best 1:54.1. Sing Jesse Sing closed inside for third.
