Athena Hanover, Lady Annie, Lear Jetta and Idle Hour became Pennsylvania Sire Stakes champions with victories in the $100,000 finals at Harrah�s Chester on Thursday afternoon, and Lady Annie and Lear Jetta also became world champions with their efforts.

Athena Hanover, the 9-5 betting favorite, started from post seven and initially took the lead before being joined by Grace N Charlie. Grace N Charlie finally clear in the straightaway and showed the way to the halfway mark in 1:00.1. Driver Cat Manzi was able to wait until past the five-eighths mark to tip Athena Hanover, but once she moved the outcome of the race was never in doubt.

Athena Hanover hit the wire in 2:00, easily besting Grace N Charlie and Diamondsonbroadway. Athena Hanover is a daughter of Tagliabue owned by Vincent T. and Geraldine Molloy. Jim Campbell trains the filly.

Lady Annie dominated the 2-year-old filly pace and kept her win streak intact at six with a powerful 1:52 performance. The time lowered the 1:52.2 world mark held by Little Miss Dragon and Current Hanover.

Tim Tetrick handled the driving assignment on Lady Annie, a daughter of Allamerican Native, for trainer Steve Elliott and the Perfect World Enterprises.

Lear Jetta, a son of Lindy Lane, took the 2-year-old colt trot, defeating Lucky Jim and Production with a phenomenal 1:55.3 mile. Quick early fractions of :27.1, :56.2 and 1:26.1 helped set up the record-setting performance. The time equaled the world mark held by Adrian Chip.

James McAuliffe owns Lear Jetta, who has now won eight of nine starts this season for trainer Robert Myers. The 1:55.3 victory is a new lifetime mark by the colt.

The George Teague Jr. Stable took the $100,000 two-year-old colt pace with the Dragon Again colt Idle Hour. It was no easy race for Idle Hour as he got stuck racing first-over while rival and stablemate The Iceman Came set the pace with fractions of :27.1, :56.3 and 1:24.4.
