Hannelore Hanover climbs to second spot in Poll

by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications

Freehold, NJ — Four-year-old female trotter Hannelore Hanover, who extended her win streak to eight with a track-record victory in last Friday’s Muscle Hill at Vernon Downs, moves to No. 2 in this week’s Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll. The mare is the only horse to make a gain in the rankings.

Wiggle It Jiggle, who was idle, remains in the No. 1 position following a quiet week.

Marion Marauder, who won the Yonkers Trot elimination last Saturday, and Lady Shadow, who finished second to Solar Sister in Sunday’s Artiscape, joined Hannelore Hanover as the only Top 10 horses in action last week.

The Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll does not determine Horse of the Year. The U.S. Harness Writers Association votes in December on all division winners plus Trotter of the Year, Pacer of the Year and Horse of the Year.

Rankings based on the votes of harness racing media representatives on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.
