Seelster Farms and the Bulldog Hanover Syndicate announced on Tuesday, Dec. 9 that the 2026 stallion book is now closed for the world’s fastest Standardbred, Bulldog Hanover.
One of the most talented and celebrated horses in recent memory, Bulldog Hanover’s accolades include induction into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Horse of the Year on both sides of the border, Cam Fella Award winner and world champion with $2.7 million in earnings.
Not only did he become the world’s fastest Standardbred ever in July of 2022, that same year he also sired 54 foals and that limited first crop catapulted him to second in the leading sires by average earnings for rookie pacers in 2025.
Bulldog Hanover’s first crop superstars included Three Diamonds Stakes winner Shes A Bulldog p, 2, 1:51.1 ($527,913); Battle of the Belles victress Daya p, 2, 1:50.4f ($495,914); Champlain Stakes champion Windor p, 2, 1:51.2s ($222,232); and Ontario Sires Stakes winner Redland Rocket Man p, 2, 1:52s ($178,287).
Seelster Farms and Bulldog Hanover Syndicate would like to thank all those who booked their mares early.
