Ohmygosh Hanover was a 1:51.4 winner in his career debut.

The 2-year-old son of The Panderosa-Ooh’s ‘N Aah’s left from post eight and followed Dapper Denzil and driver Jody Jamieson from the pocket through fractions of :26.4, :55.4 and 1:23.3 before sprinting home for the 3-1/4 length victory. Dapper Denzil was the runner-up and Scenic Art and driver Randy Waples completed the triactor.

After the victory, no one was more surprised by the time then Casie Coleman.

“I wasn’t expecting the (1):51.4 mile that’s for sure. He trained down okay, but not like a good or great colt. His first qualifier in 2:00 was horrendous, I don’t know what was wrong with him. With babies you never know and this was a very good surprise,” Coleman told WEG’s media department.

Ohmygosh Hanover was a $52,000 yearling purchase by Tom Hill and now has career earnings of $7,760. He remains eligible to the Nassageweya, Metro Pace, Champlain and Governor’s Cup.

Coleman also talks about her other top 2-year-olds including Pretty Katherine, Idyllic and Mater Deo as they prepare for the Eternal Camnation which takes place next Saturday (August 21) at Mohawk Racetrack.
