HANOVER LADY

(WENDY)

Full history and breeding here.

HANOVER LADY will be retired after picking up an injury in the D2 sprint at Hove today. The Norah Mac Racing Club owned ‘blue’ tore a gracilis muscle and will spend her retirement at home with Norah! A real favourite with Club members ‘Wendy’ is the Racing Club’s most prolific winner having won 24 races! 

Hanover Lady a February 09 bitch by Hondo Black. Wendy provided us with plenty of excitement and was an owner’s dream. She ran and won regularly in top sprints at Hove, with an Owner’s Bonus Trophy and televised win to her credit. She raced in high grades at Wimbledon and clocked 29.18 in an October 2011, A3, win over 480 metres. Wendy, crowned Bitch Of The Month for exploits at Wimbledon in August 2011, was runner up in the Best Newcomer category by the Hove Owners Association in their 2012 awards. 24 wins for the Racing Club!
