Trainer Jackie Greene is once again a nominee for the Horsewoman of the Year Award in 2024 at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The multiple training champ at the track enjoyed a strong ’24 campaign and on Tuesday afternoon, the veteran conditioner recorded a double. Greene’s Unrivaled Hanover (Bettor’s Delight) scored a decisive victory in his Spa debut when the three year old prevailed in the matinee’s feature as the 1-9 betting favorite in his $9,500 pacing event. Unrivaled Hanover made an early move to the front under the guidance of leading driver Brett Beckwith and once the sophomore got to the top, there was no looking back. Unrivaled Hanover cruised to a measured one-length victory in 1:55.1 to complete a double for the Greene stable as her Classic Jim (Aaron Byron) secured his second win in three local tries when he stopped the timer in 1:57.3 in a non-winners of two race lifetime pace. Unrivaled Hanover and Classic Jim are both owned by Kellogg Racing Stables. Unrivaled Hanover is entered to go on Sunday afternoon when the rising star, who has earned six figures in his ’24 campaign, is installed as the 6-5 morning line favorite as he looks to go back-to-back.
Live racing resumes on Saturday evening to kick off closing weekend for the 2024 racing season at the Spa. First post time on Saturday is set for 5pm.
