Ruthless Hanover wins Philadelphia qualifier

At 1h43, on March 29, 2023 By HARRAH'S PHILADELPHIA

One of the speediest pacers anywhere, the Somebeachsomewhere 6-year-old gelding Ruthless Hanover, made his 2023 debut a successful one during Tuesday morning (March 28) qualifiers at Harrah’s Philadelphia, going wire-to-wire in 1:52.2 for driver George Napolitano Jr., trainer Tom Cancelliere, and owner John Cancelliere.

Ruthless Hanover was a three-time winner in the Graduate Series at age four, and won late-season fast-class paces right here in 2022. Of course, he is best remembered locally for his effort on Sept. 4 last year in an Invitational, where he put up supersonic fractions of :25, :51.4, and 1:19.1, then finished second behind Allywag Hanover’s 1:47.3 clocking, which equaled the all-time track record of Wiggle It Jiggleit.
