Open Pace won in a romp by Torrin Hanover

WASHINGTON, PA, Feb. 18, 2022 — Torrin Hanover ($3.60) won a three-ply battle for the early lead and kept right on boogying, rolling to an eye-popping 5-3/4-length harness racing victory in Friday’s $16,000 Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

The 7-year-old Well Said-Transference gelding off clicked off quarters of :27.1, :55.3 and 1:22.4 for driver Hunter Myers to score in 1:51.3 over a “good” surface for his third win in five starts this year. Prince Of Tides and Carolina Beach completed the ticket.

Paul Corey trains Torrin Hanover, who lifted his lifetime bankroll to $350,829, for Kenneth Ashba.
