Winning driver Mark MacDonald said, “We were pretty fortunate (to draw in). I was pretty disappointed last week when I was third and got lucky to draw (in). I actually had every intention of leaving a little more with her last week, but she got a little rough on me behind the gate. She was coming off a real tough mile, 52 and first over. I felt pretty good (turning for home). I knew those good fillies were coming. She’s got such a great kick to her that when I came off the helmet, she just puts them away.”

The $733,031 Fan Hanover Stakes is the distaff counterpart to the North America Cup, featuring a field of ten 3-year-
old filly pacers. 10-1 Chancey Lady settled in third behind 5-1 pacesetter A and Gs Confusion through fractions of 56
4/5 and 1:23 4/5, then closed with a rush to get up by a head over late-running 11-1 Artimittateslife in 1:51 1/5. It
was another 1 1/4 length back to 1-2 favorite Tug River Princess, who came into the race a perfect 13-for-13 but
suffered her first career loss.
