Thirteen-year-old wins sixth straight

Dreydl Hanover (Cams Card Shark) has so far been unbeatable at 13, and he added a sixth consecutive harness racing victory to his career tally with a two-length win at Flamboro Downs on Thursday (Jan. 26).

The gelding strolled through the first half in the three-hole before following Colin Kelly’s instruction to go on the attack in the third panel. The gelding tangled with leader Hercule J M (J. Bradley Harris) throughout the final quarter vanquished that foe in the closing stages to seal a 1:57.1 win. Hercule J M held second. American Sniper (Travis Cullen) was four-and-a-half further lengths back in third.
