The Greenshoe gelding Lionheart Hanover became only the second Pennsylvania Fair Sire Stakes horse, and the first male and first trotter, to complete the “grand slam” (in announcer Jim Beviglia’s phrase), winning his regular-season points title and his Championship race at both two and three, with his victory in one of eight $25,000 Pennsylvania Fair Sire Stakes Championships over a “sloppy” track on a dank day (Oct. 13) at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

Here is this week’s Meadows Monday Memo:

Stormont Beautiful was the lone supplement received by Monday’s (Oct. 13) deadline for this year’s Breeders Crown, presented by Toyo Tires and TreadXperts, at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Bob Krivelin delivered the longest shot on the board to a victory while Mike Polansky later powered down the road to a win in their respective $10,000 dashes for the American Harness Drivers Club (AHDC) trots over the weekend at Pocono Downs.

For the third year in a row, a horse trained by Alessandro Gocciadoro won Italy’s biggest race for 3-year-old trotters, the Derby Italiano del Trotto (1-5/16 miles), with a total purse of €800,800 at the La Capanelle track outside Rome.
