WASHINGTON, PA, Oct. 12, 2020 -- Stickler Hanover and Dream Dancing repeated as Pennsylvania Fairs champions, and the unlikely duo of Andy Miller and trainer Todd Schadel teamed up for three harness racing crowns Monday at The Meadows.

The Meadows hosted all eight fairs finals with a number of horsemen enjoying big days. Brady Brown collected a pair of titles, as did Chris Shaw -- both for trainer Mitchell York. Rick Beinhauer also reeled in two championships -- one as owner/trainer, the other as owner.

Dream Dancing needed the Lightning Lane to do it, but she edged the 1-9 favorite, Ginger Tree Carey, by a head in a career-best 1:53.1 for Shaw and York. Artistic Spirit completed the ticket.

 

"She can start and she can finish," said York, who co-owns the 3-year-old daughter of A Rocknroll Dance-Clearly Foxy with David Brickell. "She's good pretty much anywhere on the track. We'll probably race her a few more times this year."

Dream Dancing, who dead-heated for last year's championship win with Silly But Serious, increased her lifetime bankroll to $116,700. Interestingly, Silly But Serious also was in Monday's field but couldn't overcome post 9 and finished out of the money.

Terry A Hanover had lost four straight races to Seth Hanover, but he nailed him Monday with the pocket trip Miller worked out, defeating his archrival by 1/2 length in 1:55.2. Shakealeg Hanover, also conditioned by Todd Schadel, was third.

"When I put Andy up, I thought today would be the day," Schadel said. "
