Red River Hanover will be standing at stud in 2009 at Perretti Farms of Indiana, a virtual stone toss from Indiana Downs.
Red River Hanover, a Canadian Comet while standing north of the border, will be a Wabash Cannonball for the foreseeable future via relocation. The full brother full bother to successful Illinois stallion Richess Hanover, Rustler Hanover and three-quarter brother to Rocknroll Hanover, Red River Hanover recorded the then fastest mile ever on Canadian soil when he captured the North America Cup in a then unheard of 1:48.4, trouncing Mach Three (sire of Somebeachsomewhere) in the process.
Already successful in New Jersey, responsible for the rugged Rudy Rednose p,3,1:52.3 ($378,779) and the sub-1:52 2-year-old fillies Miss Scarlett p,3,1:50.4 ($295,553) and Red In The Face p,2,1:51.3 ($163,176), Red River Hanover will bring his vaunted big track speed to those seven-eighths and one-mile ovals at Hoosier Park and Indiana Downs, respectively. Red River Hanover’s 2009 fee has been set at $3,500. Slated to join Red River Hanover at the Indiana venture are trotters Lawman and Guida Muscle. Lawman 4,1:51.3 (Malabar Man-Armbro Gracious) is the fastest son of Hambletonian winning Malabar Man thus far and among his richest with earnings of $279,791. Lawman’s introductory fee for 2009 has been set at $1,500. Though it’s still unofficial pending the outcome of his winter qualifiers, it is likely that super-bred Guida Muscle (Muscles Yankee-My Starchip) will also be located at the facility. Guida Muscle, a $280,000 yearling purchase, is virtually bred to be a stallion being a full brother to the celebrated Vulcanize 3,1:54 ($621,633) by the world’s leading living trotting sire Muscles Yankee. The dam My Starchip (Pine Chip-My Starlet) is remembered for beating the boys in the Zweig Memorial at Syracuse while earning $383,356. Sparingly raced due to an ankle injury, Guida Muscle secured a 1:54.4 mark in a qualifier at age three and in limited appearances earned $53,713.(Perretti Farms)
