The homebred bay son of Nob Hill High has amassed $214,210 in career earnings from five wins, five seconds and a trio of third-place finishes in 14 lifetime starts. Stanford Court leaves from post six with Ronnie Wrenn Jr. in the sulky.

Elver Hanover, who captured OSS leg two in 1:51 for trainer Ron Burke and owners Burke Racing, Bridgette Jablonsky, Jason Melillo and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby, leaves from the rail with Chris Page at the lines. This Hanover Shoe Farms-bred youngster, a gelded son of Yankee Cruiser, has a hefty bankroll of $425,200 from 10 wins, a second and a third in 14 starts, and sports a top mark of 1:48.3 taken last year over Lexington’s Red Mile.

Elver Hanover currently sits third in the standings behind divisional co-leaders Stanford Court and Ocean Rock (winner of OSS legs one and three, in 1:50.2 and 1:48.4, who opted to sit out this final leg). Haggard, who captured OSS leg one in 1:53, also opted to sit out OSS leg four as he is fifth in the standings.

The top nine point earners from each of the 2- and 3-year-old divisions will be eligible to compete in the $300,000 finals on Super Night (Saturday, Sept. 5) at Scioto Downs.
