Trainer Dave Menary is showcasing his formidable fillies, Pass Line and Its A Love Thing, in the upcoming $425,000 Fan Hanover final at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Amidst a successful season poised to surpass last year's 44 wins, Menary is eyeing victory in the Fan Hanover for three-year-old pacing fillies, adding to his stellar 2024 campaign.
With a career total of 920 victories, Menary brings a strong duo to the ring. Pass Line, a daughter of All Bets Off-Breakheart Pass, boasts an impressive record of 11 wins, 3 seconds, and 2 thirds from 17 starts, accumulating $735,627 in earnings. Despite finishing third in her Fan Hanover elimination last Saturday, Pass Line's agility and talent make her a standout contender.
Its A Love Thing, a bay filly by Bettors Delight-Love For Sail, is another star in Menary's stable. With 6 wins, 2 seconds, and 1 third in her freshman year, along with a runner-up O'Brien Award, she's proven her prowess on the track. Notably, she set an OSS record for pacing mares on a seven-eighths-mile track earlier this year, showcasing her speed and strength.
Despite challenges such as Its A Love Thing's partial blindness and Pass Line's post position, Menary remains confident in his fillies' abilities. Both possess unique traits and undeniable talent, making them formidable competitors in the upcoming race.
As the anticipation builds for the Fan Hanover final, Menary's confidence in his fillies shines through. With hopes for a favourable race flow, he trusts in their capabilities to deliver a thrilling performance on race day.
