Sansovina Hanover drops and pops in Meadows feature
October 20, 2020,Washington, PA — Racing confidently down in class, Sansovina Hanover made the lead early and made it stick late in Tuesday’s (Oct. 20) feature at The Meadows, a $10,400 distaff conditioned pace.
Jim Pantaleano didn’t rush Sansovina Hanover from the gate, but when the 5-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere and Shacked Up quarter-poled to the point, she had plenty in reserve to hold off Always Giggling by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:52.2 in the slop. Dancing Lisa finished third.
Doug Snyder trains Sansovina Hanover, who pushed her career bankroll to $345,497, for Frank Poerio Jr.
Mike Wilder, who collected four wins on Monday’s card, added three more Tuesday; trainer Dirk Simpson also enjoyed a triple on the 13-race card.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Wednesday (Oct. 21), when the 13-race program features a $79,836.62 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5 and a $973.80 carryover in the Pick-5 (races 8-12). First post is 12:45 p.m.
