Raging Hanover - Barn Debut

Just a minute ago at Pocono Downs...
Ā 
Raging Hanover misses the start, was terrible around the turns (back to the Meadowlands, though he fits this class one more start), first over a long way... fades, and then BOOOM! Just like that!
Ā 
He didn't look like he could handle Yonkers. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Ā 
He is The Masked Marvel!

I haven’t followed this purchase. Ā I see Megan was training after coming over from the Luther barn. Ā Megan worked for the Luthers previously, did she not? Ā Seems I saw a photo of her caretaking for Catch The Fire back in the day.

Was this a private purchase or an online sale and wonder if Megan/Scottie have a size-able stake?

Congratulations on the win.

I could be wrong, but I think it was a public auction (Ongait?)

Confirmed:

I don't know the answer to your other questions.

Raging is back into to go on Friday (six days since last race).Ā  Class seems comparable to last race, though the purse is $5,000 more.

Interestingly, Megan named Mark Herschberger to drive again.Ā Ā 

There were a lot of good drivers there who were available, including Jason Bartlett, Brett Beckwith, David Miller, Lauren Tritton (who is winning every race she's in it seems). Andrew McCarthy, Todd McCarthy, Dexter Dunn, Braxton Boyd, AND Scotty Z!

Herschberger is listed on two horses. Perhaps he will opt for the other one.

I think most of those drivers are off to Hoosier or Mohawk on Friday. Ā Dexter was put on 1 horse at the Meadowlands. Ā One trainer didn’t get the memo. Ā Same with Scottie.

Well, that stinks. For us.Ā 

Raging Hanover is back to go this Friday, September 12, 2025, in the 11th race at The Meadowlands.Ā  Mark Herschberger will drive again, drawing a worse post position than last week.Ā  Looks to be a sort of a rise in class (seems like the same conditions, but the purse is $17,500 vs. $12,500 last week.

P.S.Ā  I'll be there.Ā  Likely flying solo.Ā  Last week, we met partner Chris outside the winner's circle before the race.Ā  Perhaps we were feeling too cocky?Ā Ā 

I want to see him race flat and get involved.
