Ppk5/8 - McNair Sends Out Top Pair for Saturday's Open Paec

Millionaire pacer Aracache Hanover is about to return to the racing wars to begin his 2012 campaign. He's been ordered to start in the outside post position in a field of eight starters in the Saturday evening, March 10 Open Handicap Pace in the 5th race. After a winter holiday at the South Florida farm of Ontario based trainer Gregg McNair, the son of Dragon Again-Armbro Cachet turned in a comfortable 1:53.3 qualifying win at Pompano on Saturday morning, February 25 with Wally Hennessey in the bike. The 2010 winner of the Confederation Cup campaigned last year against the continent's top Free For All company, and counted wins in the Kane Invitational at Batavia, the Winbak Farms Free For All at Delaware, and his 1:49.1 life's mark in a Franklin elimination at Chester Downs among his 2011 conquests. McNair will also send out Stonebridge Tonic, a career winner of over $523,000 from post four in the March 10 Open Handicap Pace for the start of his 2012 campaign.


Post time is 7:15 p.m. Eastern every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday at The Winter Capital Of Harness Racing. Free race night live streaming, handicapping selections by Hall Of Famer John Berry, the replays archive and much more is found in the 'racing' tab at www.theislepompanopark.com .
