Late kick gets Torrin Hanover home in Open

WASHINGTON, PA, Jan. 7, 2022 — Torrin Hanover roared widest through the lane to pull off a 7-1 harness racing upset in Friday’s $17,600 Open Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

While the early lead changed hands several times, Hunter Myers was content to save ground with Torrin Hanover, not even looking for backside cover.

When Myers finally unleashed him, the 7-year-old Well Said-Transference gelding easily looped the field and triumphed in 1:53.3, 2 lengths better than Captain Cash. Carolina Beach completed the ticket.

Paul Corey trains Torrin Hanover, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $328,349, for Kenneth Ashba.
