It took two extra weeks after he was placed from the victory in the Meadowlands Pace, but Prince Hal Hanover now has his signature win, as he captured the 59th edition of the Grade 1 $385,000 Delvin Miller Adios, Presented by the Mickey Burke Family, on Saturday afternoon at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows in 1:48 1/5. Prince Hal Hanover had to overcome post eight and was able to do so with little difficulty as driver Todd McCarthy fired him out and got to the front with little dispute. Sippinonsearoc (Yannick Gingras) also blasted out from post nine and landed in the pocket while elimination winner Twisted Destiny (Dexter Dunn) remained two-wide after floating out from post three. Prince Hal Hanover cut the quarter in 26 seconds flat and then yielded past that marker when Twisted Destiny moved up to challenge him. Once he had command, Twisted Destiny would go on to hit the half in 53 3/5 and the three-quarters in 1:21 2/5 as Sippinonsearoc made another move by tipping out first-up before three-quarters and providing cover to fellow Ron Burke trainee Swingtown. Twisted Destiny managed to thwart Sippinonsearoc's bid on the final bend as Swingtown was sent out three-wide by driver Ronnie Wrenn Jr. and Prince Hal Hanover waited for the passing lane. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter Twisted Destiny turned for home first and was game on the front-end, but he couldn't withstand a two-pronged attack by Prince Hal Hanover and Swingtown late, with Prince Hal Hanover getting to the wire on the inside a head in front of Swingtown. Twisted Destiny was a brave third, followed by Sippinonsearoc and Rick Wink (Chris Page), who lacked racing room in the stretch. "It's a tough post, but he's so fast out, and I knew if I didn't get into a speed battle early, we'd probably end up somewhere pretty handy," McCarthy said after the win. "The fractions were a little softer last week (when Prince Hal Hanover was second to Twisted Destiny in their elimination), and I didn't know where Dexter got to early or where we'd be going. I was content where I was, and I just sort of kept him rolling along. When we got the two-hole, I was happy with that, too, and he just showed a great turn of foot at the top of the stretch. "I looked across on the wire and I saw Ronnie out wide. I knew it was pretty tight. I was confident, but I never like to jump the gun too early. He just raced super and full credit to (trainer) Ian Moore, he had him spot-on today." Dr. Moore sent out Prince Hal Hanover, a Captaintreacherous colt bred by Hanover Shoe Farms, for owner Prince Hal Hanover Stable.
