Unrivaled Hanover (Bettor’s Delight) scored his sixth Open Pace win of the season at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Sunday. Jackie Greene trains the four year old who recorded his eleventh victory overall in 2025 when he went coast-to-coast in the $18,500 feature for pacers as reinsman Jimmy Devaux put the race’s odds-on favorite on the front-end and they never looked back. Unrivaled Hanover was the 1-4 betting favorite in the Open as he rattled off fractions of 28.1 and 57.3 in the first half before cruising unopposed through three quarters in 1:26. The Greene trainee was asked to crank up the speed around the final turn and his response was instant as the favorite for Pacer of the Year at Saratoga cruised away from his rivals to win by close to three lengths in 1:53.2 over a track labeled ‘sloppy.’ Handlelikeaporsche (Shawn Gray) sat the pocket to the winner and ended up finishing second in his Spa debut while Rocknroll Runa A (Larry Stalbaum) closed to finish third in the Sunday feature. Unrivaled Hanover moved his seasonal earnings to over the $100,000 mark with the win. The up-and-coming star is owned by Kellogg Racing Stables.
Live racing continues on Monday with a matinee that begins at 12pm.
