Shadyshark Hanover was under an all-out drive to capture the victory in 1:50.4, a new lifetime best.

Rollwithitharry (Yannick Gingras) and Ohmygosh Hanover (Mark MacDonald) were both quickest off the gate and battling for position but it was Rollwithitharry controlling the lead as Ohmygosh Hanover settled for the two-hole at the quarter in :26.3. Post time favorite, Shadyshark Hanover was unable to find a seat and was on the outside.

As the 2-year-old’s marched towards the half, Shadyshark Hanover was still parked so driver Jody Jamieson sent his charge to the front reaching the half in :55.

Around the final turn, Fashion Delight was called upon by driver Dave Miller and was first-over with Foreclosure N (Sylvain Filion) on his helmet as Shadyshark Hanover took his rivals past three-quarters in 1:23.2.

Racing into a strong headwind down the stretch, Shadyshark Hanover was under an all-out drive to capture the victory in 1:50.4, a new lifetime best.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the fastest mile all night,” Jamieson commented in the winner’s circle. “I don’t know how much more you could ask in a 2-year-old.”

“He qualified great and I talked to a few guys who drove him in the past and they told me a few things about him. He was parked three-eighths of a mile but he was great.”

“We had a couple factors against us today, the eight hole and the strong wind. This colt overcame it all and was exceptional.”

The son of Cams Card Shark lifted his career earnings to $347,582 for trainer Erv Miller and co-owners John Fielding, Richard Strachan and Ron Michelon. He has drawn post three in the lucrative final.
