Sylvia Hanover seems to have two particular traits. The first is to make almost every race an adventure, much to the consternation of trainer Shawn Steacy. The second is to find a way to win, much to Steacy’s delight.
A 3-year-old female pacer, Sylvia Hanover has won 13 of 14 career races, and 12 in a row since her lone setback, a second-place finish in her second lifetime start a year ago. Earlier this week, she became the sport’s top-ranked star, ascending to No. 1 in the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown poll.
