Goalie Jeff takes out second U.S. classic

By

JEFF SCOTT

Goalie Jeff, from a sister to the Darfield-based stallion, Jamie Hanover (2:00.6), won his second U.S. three-year-old pacing classic for the season when he took out an elimination heat and the final of the Olliver Wendell Holmes at the Meadowlands track, New Jersey, on August 4.

The Cam Fella colt won his $U563,000 elimination and $U5126,000 final on the same evening, running back-to-back miles in 1:51.6.

Goalie Jeff, an upset winner of the SUSI million North American Cup at the Greenwood Raceway in Toronto, Canada, in late June in 1:53.6 (1000 m track), was easily superior in the Holmes, winning the final from the Niatross colt, Over The Wall, with Arbitrator (by No Nukes) third. Casino Cowboy (by Niatross), the runner-up last month to Dexter Nukes in the $U5907,000 Meadow-

lands Pace Final, won the other Holmes elimination in 1:53.8, but could only manage sixth in the final later in the evening.

Goalie Jeff is from the Albatross mare, Jill Elane Hanover (1:58.8 time-trial, the winner of nine races and $U5107,150). Jamie Hanover, whose first son to the races, Dunno, won first-up at Addington last November in a two-year-old pace and has since been placed four times in six Australian outings, and Jill Alane Hanover, are two of 11 winners from their Tar Heel dam, Joanie Hanover.

Her grand-dam Joan Genesee (by Knight Dream) time-trialled in 1:59 and is the dam of 11 winners herself and the grand-dam of 41 two-year-old winners. New additions Jamie Hanover is joined for stud duties at Geoff Tate’s Ribbonwood Stud this season by the former Inter-Dominion Pacing Final winner, San Simeon

(1:59 and $Au5t383,799), and the imported North American trotting stallion, Top Trotter (1:58.4 and $U5112,953). San Simeon was the leading sire of three-year-olds in Western Australia two seasons ago on a races-won basis, and is the sire of four in 2:00 from two Australian crops to race. San Simeon, by the Meadow Skipper stallion, Captain Hook, won 29 consecutive races in Australia as a two, three and four-year-old. Other feature race wins for him came in the West Australian Sires’ Stakes, the West Australian Derby and Australian Derby, the W.A. Benson and Hedges Cup and two InterDominion heats. Top Trotter, a son of Sharpshooter, is standing his first season at stud in New Zealand after arriving too late for stud duties last season. He is the sire of nine winners from 25 live foals left in North America.
