LUCA HANOVER SHOW MONEY IN THE OSS GOLD - July 2021 - Luca put in a solid 3rd place finish in his first Ontario Sires Stakes Gold race for 2 year old trotting colts. Coming off a win in the Grassroots, he deserved a chance to move up to the Golds and he did not disappoint. We look forward to seeing what August brings for one of our barn favourites. (OAS2021)
LUCA HANOVER 2 FOR 2 - July 2021 - We knew he was a nice horse and he won his first start but you cannot guarantee the right trip from the rail at Mohawk. Bob McClure and Luca seemed to have connected and they were magic in Luca's first stake race. He trotted his OSS Grassroots mile in 1:57.3 Congratulations to Francis, Maddi, Bob and our lucky groom Jenna. You can watch the race here (60) Mohawk, Sbred, July 15, 2021 Race 3 - YouTube (OAS2021)
LUCA FOR THE WIN!!! - July 2021 - The excitement and good fortunate continued for OAS 2021, our partners and training team this week. Luca Hanover won his first race for 2 year old trotters at Woodbine Mohawk Park. He showed gate speed, sat on the rail, was shuffled back and parked but Bob McClure managed to find his some air in the stretch and he powered home for the win.

Luca Hanover had done everything right so far. He looks like a professional. In his last qualifier, Luca left from post 6. Luca left the gate and was hard charging to the lead but James tucked him into the pocket. Coming around the final turn James was visibly looking for room but did not have any with the horse advancing on the outside staying close to the leader. With 1/8 of a mile to go, he squeezed down the rail to make up ground and finish just shy at the wire. The COSA TV commentators noted how professional the three colts across at the wire behaved most notably the winner sandwiched in the middle and Luca who squeezed up the rail making up so much ground.
Luca has drawn post 2 in the Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroot race on Tuesday, July 6th at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Good luck to all!!
