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.
He smashed another track record when he won the Empire Breeders Classic at Tioga Downs in 1:48.2.
The richest and fastest son of World Champion Huntsville (a son of Somebeachsomewhere), Legendary Hanover descends from a proven family of speed. His dam is one of only two mares in history to produce multiple 1:47 or better horses.
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.”
He comes to Australia after serving a full book of quality mares at Southwind Farms in his debut season in America.

Legendary Hanover brings a modern pedigree to breeders.
By Huntsville, he is out of the Well Said mare Lillian Hanover – one of only two mares in history to produce multiple 1:47 or better performers.
Huntsville has crossed very well with mares from the Cam Fella sireline (particularly Bettor’s Delight), Western Hanover line and Artsplace line mares.
5 of his top performers in the US are out of mares from the Cam’s Card Shark sireline, headed by the millionaire Huntinthelastdollar who is out of a Bettors Delight mare.
Cam Fella line stallions include Bettors Delight, Roll With Joe, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Betterthancheddar, etc.
2 of his top 3 earners in the US to date are out of Western Hanover line mares, with his richest of course being Legendary Hanover.
Western Hanover line stallions include Always B Miki, American Ideal, Rock N Roll Heaven, Rocknroll Hanover, Western Terror, Western Ideal, Jeremes Jet, Badlands Hanover, etc.
Interestingly is we look at the crosses of gold for Huntsville, it becomes apparent that Sportswriter, Artsplace and Art Major all feature prominently amongst his best crosses in terms of average earnings per foal.
Finally, mares by a Falcon Seelster line stallion or with Falcon Seelster maternally, should be strongly considered for Legendary Hanover.
Every sire from the Direct Scooter sireline has left a good horse out of a Falcon Seelster or Falcon Seelster line mare, including Huntsville himself (Max Contract 1:48.6)
