WASHINGTON, PA, July 25, 2020--Papi Rob Hanover blazed his way to the $375,000 final of the Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids in a world record 1:47.1, a world record for a 3-year-old colt on a five-eighths mile track. Also winning eliminations Saturday at The Meadows were The Greek Freak and Catch The Fire.
 
Joining the three winners in the Aug. 1 final are Later Dudes, Chief Mate, No Lou Zing, Sweet Truth, Capt Midnight and Elver Hanover. Connections of the elimination winners will choose their post positions Tuesday, with their order of selection determined by random draw. All other post positions will be randomly drawn.
 
The Meadowlands Pace runner-up, Papi Rob Hanover was comfortably in front after quarter-poling to the point for David Miller following Captain Barbossa's unrealistic 25.3 opening panel. The son of Somebeachsomewher e-Panera Hanover reached three-quarters in 1:20.3, but he wasn't done yet, clicking off the final panel in 26.3. Sweet Truth was second-placed third,10-1/2 lengths back, while No Lou Zing was elevated to second.

Brett Pelling, who trains Papi Rob Hanover for David McDuffee, said he wasn't concerned that the swift mile might leave him short next week.
 
"He came out of the Meadowlands Pace great, and he proves he needs to race. He just needs more racing," Pelling said. "Every race has been better than the one before, so he's on the right track.
 
"Could he bounce off that? He's a big, strong horse. Nothing's ever knocked him around yet, so he'll be fine."
 
The time knocked a tick from Betting Line's previous world record. In addition, the mile is the fastest ever paced at The Meadows, lowering Bolt The Duer's former standard of 1:47.4.

I hope its not true, but a friend of mine in the business says broken coffin bone, career over

We shall see . Brett is miserable in the morning we know

[dinkadoo]

He didn't look sound after the race.

discussed on a facebook page that he pulled up badly and walked back to the paddock very sore by horsemen.
But then you read the Pelling interview regarding how fast he went and he didn't seem concerned... Sure Pelling has something for 'that'

Could just be a foot abscess they look the same. Shadow Play was broken bone lame after the 1st heat of the Jug. The blacksmith cut the foot until he got to it put a bar shoe on and within an hour he won the 2nd and final heat of the Jug. Hopefully that’s all it is. If it’s a coffin bone break that also depends on what part of the bone it is and if it’s operable or not.

Let’s be real though, either way, there is ZERO reason to push him to a 47.1 esp if not for huge money and/or in the Finals of a series.  Not saying it couldn’t happened at any speed... but definitely pushed him wwaaayyy to hard.

[NJ The best]

Yes , remember Glidemaster before the Hambo elimination couldn’t walk they had the blacksmith on him day and night . Blair Burgess was thinking scratch him but they got him put back together. If it’s soft tissue who knows ?

[dinkadoo]

typically I ask -- do times matter anymore ?

but then doing that mile winning by 10 kinda shows me how fast he was.
