Son of Captaintreacherous bursts late to win

Plainville, MA —  Benefiting from a perfect harness racing trip, Andy Mac Hanover (Captaintreacherous, Matty Athearn) brushed late to a 1-¼ length victory in the $17,000 featured pace at Plainridge Park on Tuesday (Nov. 12) afternoon.

Athearn left from post five with Andy Mac Hanover and ended up watching Bang Ah Uey (Jim Hardy) take the front at the :28.1 quarter. With Bang Ah Uey leading, positions remained unchanged to the half in :56.4 and three-quarters in 1:25.3 with only a mild bid from Swifty Run (Bruce Ranger) to that point. The race proceeded around the last turn and when they hit the stretch, Andy Mac Hanover pulled and paced past Bang Ah Uey to easily win in 1:54.3.
