Washington, PA – Dorsoduro Hanover captured Friday’s (Feb. 11) $17,600 Open Handicap Pace at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows, taking another step in his quest to become a double millionaire. The win lifted the lifetime bankroll to $1,974,421 for the 2018 3-Year-Old Male Pacer of the Year.

Dorsoduro Hanover stalked Torrin Hanover from the pocket until Dave Palone sent him wide for the drive. Though the Somebeachsomewhere-Dear Valley Miss gelding needed the entire lane to do it, he got up to defeat Torrin Hanover by a neck in 1:51.1. The first-over Shvaiko finished third.

Ron Burke trains the winner for Burke Racing Stable, J&TSilva-Purnel&Libby, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Wingfield Five LLC.

Aaron Merriman, Ridge Warren and trainer Scott Betts joined Palone and Burke with doubles on the 11-race card.

Live racing at The Meadows resumes Wednesday (Feb. 16) when the program features a pair of carryovers — $4,921.33 in the final-race Super Hi-5, $4,822.08 in the Jackpot Pick-5 (race 4). First post is 12:45 p.m.
