HARRINGTON, DE – Layton Hanover (Captaintreacherous) ($3.60, Montrell Teague) overcame an overland route for a decisive 1:52.3 harness racing win in the featured $22,500 Free-For-All Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway.

Owned by David Rovine Stable, Ctc Stable and Mike Hall, the 5-year-old Captaintreacherous gelding was outside the entire mile before clearing the lead in the top of the stretch and drawing away from the field for his 9^th win of the season. Mack was second with Ats Hanover third. Trained by his co-owner Hall, it was his 3^rd straight triumph. It was one of two wins for Teague on the card, who maintains a 2 win lead over Corey Callahan in the driver standings.
