If there were an award for consistency and reliability in the broodmare ranks, it would undoubtedly go to the Hanover Shoe Farms-owned matron Triplet Hanover.
On Monday April 23, Triplet Hanover foaled her 18th consecutive foal, a colt by Artspeak. She has had a foal every year from 2001 through 2018.
Every one of her previous foals of age have made it to the sales ring as yearlings.
This year she will be represented by a full brother to her newborn colt, Techtopia Hanover, who will be part of Hanover's consignment to Harrisburg in November. Triplet Hanover is scheduled to be bred to Betting Line in 2018.
Thus far, her 16 foals who have entered the sales ring have sold for a gross of $1,153,000.
No slouch in the production department, Triplet Hanover, now 22, has already produced the winners of $1,717,083, and her stakes-winning daughter Trim Hanover, is the dam of the millionaires American Jewel p.2,1.50.2, 3,1.48.2($1,840,585) and Luck Be Withyou p.2,1.50f, 3,1.48f, 1.47.4f($1,454, 166).
