Summit Bloodstock Adds Firepower with Legendary Hanover

In a nod to the strength and breeding opportunities that exist within the Australian harness racing industry, TAB Eureka Slot Holder (and inaugural winner with Encipher) Jamie Durnberger-Smith will add a US record-breaking sire to bolsters Australia’s breeding ranks for the 2025/26 breeding season.

Exciting freshman sire, Legendary Hanover, will add an exciting new flavour to Australia’s already strong breeding ranks, and add to the Summit Bloodstock Stallion Roster that boasted Confederate and Cannibal in 2024/25, their first year Downunder.

Legendary Hanover is the richest and fastest son of Huntsville, starring during last year’s powerhouse three-year-old season in the US, becoming the only pacer to ever post two sub-1min47sec miles.

Legendary Hanover won the Meadowlands Pace by five lengths in a sizzling 1min46.6sec and followed it by adding the Cane Pace in a clock-breaking season-record 1min46.4sec.

The colt, who won six of his nine starts at two including the Dream Maker final, also added last season’s Empire Breeders Classic in a Tioga track record 1min48.2sec to his remarkable three-year-old haul.

“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,” said his trainer Anthony Beaton.

Legendary Hanover will stand at Cobbitty Equine Farm for an all-inclusive service fee of $7500.
