Joelsyy Hannover (J. Endophanera) used a gate-to-wire attempt to score a 27-1 harness race during the $28,000 Open Pace in Saturday action (Oct. 25) at Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway.
Tyler Smith sent Joelsyy Hanover from outside post #7 to take the lead after the opening quarter: 27.1.
Crunch Time A (Trevor Smith) and Alta Revelry N (Jeremy Smith) were the first to act, applying pressure after halftime in :55.3 and three quarters in 1:22.4.
Joelsyy Hanover used a final quarter of :27.2 to hold off the fast-closing Pj Lou (Brett Miller) by half a length in 1:50.1.
Alta Revelry N was only three-quarters of a length back in third place.
JOELSY HANOVER REPEAT
Joelsyy Hanover is co-owned by trainer Jessica Millner and Andrew Coblentz.
The seven-year-old gelding son of Jk Endofanera paid $56.60 to win.
The four-year-old gelding son of Bettor’s Delight is trained by Alicia Hanners for Lases Racing.
The biggest setback of the night came during the $11,000 conditioned pacing event in race #8.
Four More Years used a patient drive from Koltin Noble and a late three-wide move to score a 31-1 upset.
Gambler’s choice, Go Pikacho Go (Chris Page), took the early lead from post #8 and was able to control the fractions of :27, :56.3 and 1:24.2.
Early moves from Caviart Eden (Kayne Kauffman) and K Man Jack (Brett Miller) provided extra cover for the eventual winner.
As the field of ten turned for home, Go Pikachu Go held a precarious lead, but it was Four More Years who was fastest, crossing the line half a length ahead of K Man Jack in 1:53.1.
The entire field was within 3 ½ lengths of the winner.
Noble owns and trains the seven-year-old Always B Miki ruin.
Tyler Smith and Brett Miller both scored grand slams with four wins each on the 14-race card.
Dayton Raceway returns to action on Tuesday (Oct. 28) with a post time of 4:00 p.m.
