Disturbed Hanover raced bravely 1st over past the half then challenged pacesetter Shes Pukka N at the three-quarter pole. Moments Of Joy caught 2nd over cover on the outside. The 4/5 race favorite Soho Burning Love A shadowed 3rd over on the rim.

In the deep stretch Disturbed Hanover and driver Barton Dalious grinded past Shes Pukka N late. They won by three quarters of a length in 1:52.1 and paid $42.00 for the win.

Disturbed Hanover (Big Jim) is owned by The Whiz Kids Stable LLC of Dover, Delaware.
