Stateside invader Frantic Hanover (STAY HUNGRY) etched another win into his unblemished card in taking a $40,000 Metro Pace eliminations on Saturday night at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
Frantic Hanover sprung away with a Metro Pace elimination as the 1-9 choice with a 1:49.4 stroll. Tim Tetrick brushed Frantic Hanover to the top out of third after a :27.2 first quarter and cleared command on the approach to a :56 half. He coasted through the last turn to clock three-quarters in 1:23.2 and revved away in a matter of steps spinning for the finish. Tetrick geared his charge down in the last eighth and held a 3-1/4-length lead crossing the line while chased by Superchamp Hanover in second. Tilthecowscomehome settled for third off a pocket trip with Stingray Deo finishing fourth and No Waitlist rounding the top five.
FRANTIC HANOVER REPLAY
“He’s only had the plugs pulled one time and that was his second lifetime start I think – and that was a [1:]50 mile at The Meadows early in the season,” Tim Tetrick said after the race. “He’s a super nice colt and he’s done everything I’ve liked [for] him to do. His ears are up, he’s happy and I still don’t think he’s gone to work yet.”
Ron Burke trains Frantic Hanover, a colt by Stay Hungry, for owners Burke Racing Stable LLC, Brad Grant, Knox Services Inc. and Weaver Bruscemi LLC. The colt, making his Canadian debut, also notched his seventh straight victory as he prepares to spar against the undefeated Beau Jangles in the Metro Pace final next Saturday.
“I wish he wasn’t in there, it’d make my job easier,” Tim Tetrick said cheekily and with a laugh. “But I’ve watched him and I’ve been super impressed with him since I saw him win in [1:]50 in his first start here. He looks like a war horse on the track and Doc does a good job with him. He’s going to be a contender for sure, so we just have to out manoeuvre him a bit. Frantic Hanover paid $2.10 to win.
