Palladium Hanover goes back-to-back

Palladium Hanover (Artspeak) made it two straight wins as the gelding captured the Wednesday (Nov. 6) harness racing feature at Flamboro Downs.

Ed Hensley repeated Travis Cullen’s speed tactics from last week, sending Palladium Hanover to the front in a :26.4 first quarter. Hunter Hill (Jimmy Gagnon) brought pressure quickly and chipped away first-over through :55.2 and 1:24.1 middle splits before fading at three-quarters.

Smooth Lou (Samuel Fillion) had nothing extra after a three-wide move on the backstretch, and Palladium Hanover completed the 1:53.4 victory by a length-and-three-quarters.

Smooth Lou was second, followed by Wilcat Rocky (J. Bradley Harris).
