| Snowstorm Hanover won his sixth amassing $395,919 in earnings. |
The Woodbine Entertainment Group's final major stakes night of the season featured the $1.8 million "Fall Four" Grand Circuit events for two-year-olds on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Woodbine Racetrack.
Favourite Snowstorm Hanover earned his third straight 1:55.1 victory in the $404,000 final of the Valley Victory for trotting colts.
Driven by Matt Kakakley for the Ron Burke stable, Snowstorm Hanover assumed command early on from post five and carved out fractions of :28.1 and :57.3 before opening up four lengths on the way to three-quarters in 1:25.3. Meanwhile, fellow elimination winner Jake (Sylvain Filion) was flushed out from third by the oncoming International Moni (Scott Zeron), who closed outside down the lane in pursuit of the front-striding favourite. However, Snowstorm Hanover held off International Moni to win by one length and equal his lifetime mark. Jake finished third.
Fresh off a pair of 1:55.1 victories in the Matron Stakes and his Valley Victory elimination last weekend, Snowstorm Hanover was sent postward as the 7-5 favourite and paid $4.90 to win.
"I got to the front just like the elimination and he held them off," commented Kakaley after the race. "There was a little bit [of an anxious moment] the last 16th or so. I heard them coming and he was getting a little tired -- you know, 1:25 three-quarters is pretty quick tonight I think. He was getting a little tired, but he was still game.
"[The wind] is strong and it's cool tonight, and it takes its toll on him, that's for sure."
The Muscle Massive-Snow Angel Hanover colt is now six-for-14 in his career with earnings over $395,000 for Burke Racing Stable LLC, Frank Baldachino, Phillip Collura, and Weaver Bruscemi LLC.
Downbytheseaside turned the tables on Breeders Crown champion Huntsville, drawing away in deep stretch to win the $520,000 Governor’s Cup for pacing colts and giving driver David Miller his second stakes victory on the night.
With a pair of outside leavers firing to the front, 1-5 favourite Huntsville (Tim Tetrick) and 2-1 Downbytheseaside settled away fourth and fifth, respectively, through a :27.2 opening quarter. Huntsville then made a quarter-pole move to take charge with Downbytheseaside hot on his heels and clearing at the half in :55.2. After a third-quarter breather to the next marker in 1:23, the top two began to gain some separation from the rest of the field turning for home with the Brian Brown-trained Downbytheseaside eventually drawing away from his pocket-pursuer in deep stretch to win by three lengths in 1:51.1. Filibuster Hanover (Yannick Gingras), one of the early leavers, rounded out the top three finishers.
"Me and Brian [Brown] talked about the race and we were kind of hoping it would line up like it did there in the Breeders Crown," said Miller in a post-race interview. "I said, 'Don't be surprised, there will probably be some from the outside leaving' and he made an equipment change on him to an open bridle. He was a bit bully before. He was a little more quieter, and when the gate folded, he let me do what I wanted to do. Like I said, the ones from the outside left so I was just kind of waiting to see what Tetrick did. When he moved, I thought I better go with him. My horse got to the front and he swells up when he's on the lead. He was very strong; I never pulled his plugs. He paced right through the wire good.
"I honestly thought I was second-best, but I thought if the trip worked out or one of us got used pretty hard getting to where we wanted to go, I maybe could pick it up. It worked out good, I was able to get to the front without too big of fractions. He's a good horse."
