Standout pacer Legendary Hanover will stand the 2025 Southern Hemisphere breeding season at Alabar Australia following a career that redefined three-year-old speed.
Crowned Canadian Two-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year in 2023 after winning six of nine starts, the $260,000 yearling carried his dominance into his sophomore season, making history as the first three-year-old to record multiple sub-1:47 miles. His resume includes a 1:46.6 victory in the Meadowlands Pace Final, a 1:46.4 performance in the Cane Pace – both track and stakes records.
The richest and fastest son of World Champion Huntsville (a son of Somebeachsomewhere), Legendary Hanover descends from a proven family of speed. His dam, Lillian Hanover, has produced multiple foals who have paced in sub-1:52, including the standout Linedrive Hanover (p,1:47s, $ 806,432). His broader maternal line boasts elite names such as Dealt A Winner (p,1:47.2, $1.5M) and Little Brown Jug champion Timesareachanging, further underlining the depth of his high-performance pedigree. From the moment he stepped into the sales ring, his potential was clear – reflected in his commanding $260,000 yearling price.
Trainer Anthony Beaton described the star pacer with admiration: “Legendary Hanover is very intelligent—one of the smartest horses I’ve ever been around. He possessed a flawless and powerful gait and has a huge set of lungs.” These qualities, combined with his extraordinary speed position Legendary Hanover as an exceptional addition to the stallion ranks in 2025, offering breeders access to a rare blend of brilliance, pedigree, and performance.
He comes to Australia after serving a full book of quality mares at Southwind Farms in his debut season in America.
Legendary Hanover will stand for AUD $7,500 (incl GST) plus the HRA Levy of 8% in Australia and NZD $6,600 (plus GST) in New Zealand. Multiple Mare Discounts available.
