Andrew Harris figures he is likely to get emotional when the time arrives later this month for Abuckabett Hanover to be formally honored as harness racing’s best older male pacer.
Purchased in October 2022 by Bill Pollock, Bruce Areman, and Harris, Abuckabett Hanover (aka Bucky) hit the board in 12 of 15 races, winning seven and earning a division-best $833,022 in 2024 as a 6-year-old. The stallion finished worse than second only twice in his final 12 starts and counted the William R. Haughton Memorial, FanDuel Open Pace Championship, Dayton Derby, and Dave Brower Memorial among his triumphs.
