Northfield, oh – Fresh from a silver -plating Harness Racing – victory in the $ 385,000 degree 1 Delvin Miller Adios in Hollywood Casino in the Meadows, Prince Hal Hanover (Donating) will lead a loaded field of 3-year-old Pacers in Saturday (August 9) $ 300,000 grade 2 Carl Milstein Memorial in MGM Northfield Park.
“I am very satisfied with the field for this year’s Carl Milstein Memorial, it is a great mix of top horses from different circuits,” said director of Race Operations Dave Bianconi.
Prince Hal Hanover was purchased for $ 130,000 at the Lexington selection Yearling Sale in 2023. He had a successful 2-year campaign with victories in the Tompkins-Geers stakes in Woodbine Mohawk Park and a division of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes in Pocono. He also had second place in the $ 740,000 Metro Stakes and $ 170,200 Nassagaweya Stakes in Mohawk.
As a 3-year-old, Prince Hal Hanover has proven that he belongs in the upper echelon of his division.
After a disappointing effort in the $ 740,000 grade 1 Pepsi North America Cup final in Mohawk, the son of Donating Was released for a few weeks before a second performance against conditioned company, tailored to the pace of the Meadowlands.
In the Meadowlands first crossed the thread in the $ 656,000 grade 1 Meadowlands tempo, but was supposed to have caused interference with Madden Oaks in the play and was placed second.
After that effort, the connections sent him to the meadows for the adios. From post eight he was in the final of the pace, while others set fractures and the passing lane gathered to win through a head over Swingtown and neck over rotated fate in a career-best 1: 48.1.
“He came out very well,” said Dr. Ian Moore, the trainer of the foal. “We were very impressed with his miles with the meadows.”
On the way to Saturday’s Carl Milstein Memorial, Dr. Moore convinced that his Colt will be the task.
“He will train on Wednesday, but it will be all the systems,” he said. “He hunted very well and we are very happy with him.”
Prince Hal Hanover, who earned $ 431,633 as a second-year-old, will meet eight enemies on Saturday, with a few familiar faces and some new shooters who want to make a name for himself in the 3-year-old Pacing rangs.
The $ 200,000 mgm Grand Messenger Champion, Twisted Destiny, is one of the Colts Prince Hal Hanover again. Twisted Destiny’s trainer, Chris Ryder, won the Carl Milstein Memorial 2019 with the wishes of Bettor. Twisted Destiny is a son of Bettor’s wish.
