Hanover, PA — Millionaire pacing mare and broodmare Go On BB will be retired at Hanover Shoe Farms.
Go On BB (Dontgetinmyway-Challo B B-Nobleland Sam) was foaled in 2004 and was purchased in August of 2006 by Frank Baldachino. The gutsy mare raced under the colors of the Burke Racing Stable from 2006 through 2013, earning $1,461,538 lifetime.
As a 2-year-old in 2006, Go On BB won seven starts, including the Genesis and Indiana Sires Stakes finals, earning $74,500 with a record of 1:54.4.
At three she won 19 of 22 starts, banking $362,149 for the season with wins in the $206,000 American- National in her season’s best record of 1:51; $100,000 Indiana Sires Stake final at Indiana Downs; Genesis and Blossom Series finals, in addition to numerous Filly and Mare Open Handicaps.
She continued her winning ways as an older mare, winning 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 Indiana Sires Stakes mare championships, earning over $100,000 every year until being retired from racing at the age of 9 in 2013.
She was bred on a foal share in 2013 with Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc. to Somebeachsomewhere, producing her richest foal, Gotthisone Hanover p,1:51.4 ($209,196). She is also the dam of Going Gone Hanover p,3,1:51f ($132,372) and Lyons Legacy p,1:52.3f ($97,607) — both by Captaintreacherous.
Go On BB foaled eight with an average yearling price of $49,000, including a $100,000 Captaintreacherous (Lyons Legacy) and $85,000 Papi Rob Hanover (Gold Glove Hanover) with progeny earnings totaling $537,143.
At the age of 21, Go On BB will join the retired herd at Hanover Shoe Farms in 2025 to live the rest of her life at her leisure. Her final foal by Captaintreacherous is being carried via embryo transfer due March 26, 2025.
Hanover Shoe Farms supports the retirement of an additional 184 mares, 34 geldings and two stallions. Some have second careers as nanny mares for orphaned foals and tease mares for our breed shed. One of the geldings works as a pony horse for yearling videos but the majority are free to roam and graze the fields.
