Grand Circuit mare scores at Dover

Boudoir Hanover (Captaintreacherous) left out of the gate and did not look back as she won the Fillies/Mares Open Handicap harness racing pace at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday night (Dec. 13).

Boudoir Hanover left from post 7, settled then brushed for the lead after being parked to the quarter in 27.1 Tae settled and watched all the action from the pocket. Boudoir Hanover was on a mission to avenge her earlier defeat last week. She continued on the lead reaching the half in 56 flat, a 28.4.

Incaseyoudidntknow moved 1st up coverless in front of the stands and approaching the half. Southwind Icenfire shadowed 2nd over. The bid by Incaseyoudidntknow, who had won 5 races in a row, may have taken its toll on her as that bid stalled. Boudoir Hanover, the 1/2 betting favorite, continued under a full head of steam and buzzed the three quarters in 1:23.1, a 27.1 clicker.

At the top of the stretch, Tae, who had watched all the action along the pylons, pulled the pocket. Tae had her sights on Boudoir Hanover in deep stretch but could not gun her down. Feeling Sweet had watched from the three path but was served the same fate as Tae. Boudoir Hanover won confidently by three quarters of a length in 1:51.1. She paid $3.for the win.
