Washington, PA — Trillions Hanover continued her red-hot ways Monday (Sept. 23) at The Meadows, capturing her third straight — all stakes — in a division of the $59,300 Keystone Classic. Sweet Cherry took the other split in the event for 3-year-old filly pacers.

Trillions Hanover entered the Keystone Classic off impressive victories in the Lady Maud and a Pennsylvania Sires Stake leg but appeared to be idling outside after leaving from post seven. According to winning driver David Miller, that was all according to plan
“I was waiting until the dust settled,” Miller said. “When she got half in 56, I was pretty confident she could get home from there. She’s always been pretty good. She’s tried racing against the ‘Group 1’ fillies. She could compete with them, but she never could beat them. But she’s been pretty steady all year.”
The daughter of Somebeachsomewhere-Tulu Hanover reached the point near the three-eighths and easily thwarted the Lightning Lane challenge of the pocket-sitting Rockn Philly, downing her by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:51.3. Alii Nui finished third.
