Hung Over makes his eighth trip to the winners circle

Hung Over (Marvin Luna) notched a front-stepping win in the 3-Year-Old Colt & Gelding Trot final with a 1:54 mile. Luna swooped to the point past a :27.3 first quarter and cruised through middle sectionals of :57.4 and 1:25.4 while Mister Dad (Dexter Dunn) climbed first over from third to try and cut into the loose leader’s margin. Mister Dad eventually leveled off from his bid through the final turn, leaving Hung Over to coast in a two-length winner over Mister Dad with International Law (Marcus Miller) closing for third and Crown Monarch (Andy McCarthy) finishing fourth. Bob Stewart trains Hung Over, a colt by Creatine out of the Yankee Glide mare Drunkard’s Dream. He’s now won seven times from 15 starts and earned $232,493 for owner and breeder Bluestone Farms LLC and Lynda Stewart. He paid $7.76 to win.
