Super Chapter to race in 2026

Super Chapter will be returning to the Marcus Melander Stable to begin training for his 2026 racing season.
“An exacting, two-phase breeding soundness exam was performed, and Super Chapter scored well on every measure except morphology,” said Hanover Shoe Farms President Russell Williams. “A percentage of his sperm cells are the type produced by younger colts.
“We did see an improvement between test phases,” Williams added. “To confirm our view that Super Chapter needs time to mature, we test bred him to one of our retired mares. She is in foal at 14 days.”
Super Chapter was the leading money-winning 3-year-old trotter in 2025, with $1.23 million, and a divisional Dan Patch Award winner. He hit the board in 13 of 14 races, with his nine victories including the Grade 2 MGM Yonkers Trot and Earl Beal Jr. Memorial, where his 1:50 mile around Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania made him history’s fastest 3-year-old on a five-eighths-mile oval.
“We have the highest expectations for Super Chapter’s 4-year-old racing season,” said Jeff Snyder, co-owner with Arthur Pronti. “He’s sound and in great condition. Marcus can’t wait to get him back.”
All of Super Chapter’s connections are grateful for the tremendous interest shown in him and we shall return to the subject of his breeding career when he has acquired an even stronger racing resume and had time to mature.
