The stakes season kicked off at Truro Raceway on a rainy Sunday afternoon (May 21) with three divisions of the Donnie & George Turner Memorial Pace for three-year-olds.
Batterup Hanover made a big move on the backstretch, sweeping four-wide from the backfield in Sunday's feature, to haul down the defending Truro Raceway Horse of the Year American Risk for his second straight win in the top pacing class.
Batterup Hanover pounced from the pocket to win his season's debut in the top pacing class featured on Opening Day of the 2023 harness racing meet at Truro Raceway on Sunday, May 7.
Truro Raceway's top class turned into a two-horse race on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 6) with Batterup Hanover and trainer/driver Paul Langille defeating the George Rennison-trained American Risk and Redmond Doucet as the favourites ran away on the field.
