Only two signs of the Harness Racing Track Record, Ervin Hanover (Donating) and Louis Roy took the $ 250,000 degree 2 Jim Ewart Memorial Pace in 1: 47.2 Saturday (September 6) in Eldorado Scioto Downs. Hillexotic and Austin Hanners took the companion Charlie Hill Memorial prot in 1: 51.1.
Ervin Hanvoer came in fourth place of Post Five As Little Rocket Man (Jeremy Smith) took the early lead on the way to the 26 opening quarter. Captain Albano (Todd McCarthy) was already on the way and settled on the lead and took the field to the 52.4 half. While he became second behind women’s layer (Dexter Dunn), Ervin Hanover stalked the leaders on his way to the 1: 19.4 third quarter. When I came down the process, it was a three -way fight for the leadership with Ernin Hanover as a victor by a short neck over Captain Albano; Women’s layer became third.
“He doesn’t get out of the car when he is right,” said Roy in the circle interview of the winner with Jenna Ott. “Todd did it great to open us a bit when we hit the piece, when he saw that I had to go three wide, there was still a lot of work to do for my horse, but he is just so brave, it does great.”
Ervin Hanover, fresh from a second place in the Canadian Pacing Derby for trainer Dave Menary and owner Pollack Racing, now has 22 lifelong victories in 70 Starts and $ 846,410 in income.

The gate left behind, Jurassic Hattie (Brett Miller) crossed to the early lead, but Hillexotic was hot on her tail and took over halfway through the first turn. Leading by fractions of 27.1, 55.1 and 1:23, the 1/5 favorite won with a length and a quarter past Southwind Coors (Ronnie Wrenn, Jr.). Ohio bred bag babysitter Jurassic Hattie, a 4-year-old mare, finished third.
