Hanover Raceway's Winter Book on Contenders for the 2021 Dream of Glory

By Steve Fitzsimmons

2020 Balanced Image Champion - Sweet Soul David

It's just under 2 months away from opening day at Hanover Raceway and close to 4 months away from the eliminations of our biggest race, the Dream of Glory. The race is open to 3-year-old Ontario Sired trotting colts and geldings with less than $75,000 in earnings last season and fillies who had earnings of less than $100,000.

We were blessed with 94 horses being nominated to remain eligible. First, thank you to all the trainers and owners who kept their horses eligible for this race. We promise to give you our very best to give this event the spotlight it deserves. Along with a sizable purse, we will also be giving the winner an Original Framed Art Work of the winning horses victory, created by famed artist Michelle Hogan (www.harnessartist.com), that has a value of $1,000 and is a lifelong keepsake for the winner.

I thought we would size up the contenders for the event, understanding that we can only base things on race lines from the eligible horses and there is no doubt that a horse who was unraced at 2 or very lightly raced will be heard from and could very well win the event. That said, we have a treasure trove of high quality colts, geldings and fillies that are eligible to our race. Some "contenders" may also choose a different racing path and not enter the elimination of our race and we understand that as well. I also didn't contact any trainers to get their feedback on how any of the horses are training back for this season.

With all that said, here are 15 strong contenders for Dream of Glory Supremacy.
