Trotting filly Climatic Hanover, a half-sister to 2024 Dan Patch and O’Brien Award-winning colt Maryland, sold for $725,000 to Tor Hagmann as agent for Kjell Andersen to top Monday’s opening session of the 87th annual Standardbred Horse Sale at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex.

Climatic Hanover, a daughter of Walner out of the mare Crucial, is also a full sister to colt Cambridge Hanover, who topped last year’s yearling portion of the Standardbred Horse Sale when he sold for $1 million. The family also includes 2021 Dan Patch and O’Brien Award-winning filly Venerable and Grade 1 stakes-winner Voguish.
