Dahlquist Hanover wins Preferred after a quick turnaround

Dahlquist Hanover (Walner) won the Preferred Trot at The Raceway at Western Fair District on Wednesday (Mar. 6) after having only five days of rest.

Travis Henry was able to find Dahlquist Hanover’s space in the pocket as the field of six hit the backstretch for the first time. The Great Reset (Lorne House) led the way and opened with a 28.0 first quarter and a 58.1 half-mile. Traffic started to form around Dahlquist Hanover, and he was boxed down the backstretch. Tijuana Seelster even took over second place for a while. It wasn’t the stretch Dahlquist Hanover was able to find space. He snuck up the inside track and won in 1:57.2.
The Great Reset held on for second and El Toro Loco (Garrett Rooney) finished third.
