0

Scarlett Hanover and driver Tim Tetrick overcame a day-long rain and a field of eight to win the $253,800 Jugette for three-year-old filly pacers on Wednesday at the Delaware County Fairgrounds.

In the $152,280 final, the 43-1 longshot Paula’s Bet Hanover (Yannick Gingras) grabbed the early lead and controlled the fractions of :29, :58.4 and 1:28. David Miller came first up with Test Of Faith, providing cover for Tetrick and Scarlett Hanover to sprint past the leaders to record a half-length win in 1:56 over a track rated as “sloppy.”

“The last half of the card, the front end has not been very good at all, I wanted to get away in the back. I was hoping one or two wanted to take a shot. It worked out perfect…my mare got it done,” said Tetrick.

“The track crew did as good of a job as they could. There was a lot of weather, a lot of rain.”

Scarlett Hanover is trained by Ron Burke and co-owned by Burke Racing Stable, Frank Baldachino, J & T Silva-Purnel & Libby and Weaver Bruscemi.

“We are thrilled with her effort today. She was great,” added co-owner Mark Weaver. “A lot of the credit goes to Ed and Ashleigh Hensley who train some of our horses in Canada. They had her ready and have done a fabulous job with Scarlett Hanover.”

The Bettor’s Delight filly was a $45,000 yearling purchase from the Hanover Shoe Farm consignment.

In the first elimination, Scarlett Hanover wore down the pacesetting Mikala (George Brennan) to score a 2 ¼ length victory in 1:56. Paula’s Bet Hanover (Gingras) and Nashville Elgenna (Andrew McCarthy).
