Scuola Hanover defeats Open males

HARRINGTON, Del. – Pacing mare Scuola Hanover ($12.20, Art Stafford Jr.) beat a field of male pacers in the $20,000 Open Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway in 1:52.2.

Owned by Art and Andrew Stafford and Thomas Ireland, the 6-year-old Rocknroll Dance mare held off a fierce late charge from Jack’s Legend N for her 28th career win. American Admiral was third. Scuola Hanover, from her rail post position, assumed command from the pocket as leader Proper One yielded near the three-quarters in 1:24 with race favorite Jack’s Legend N attacking after a three-wide move, but the latter would never get by the gritty mare who prevailed by a nose.
