January 2, 2007 - Dean A. Hoffman

The third candidate for Pacing Broodmare of the year is Jasmine Hanover, dam of Little Miss Dragon, a winner of $383,375 in taking four of her 10 tries. Her sophomore son Artstanding banked $217,495 in 2006, taking his career total past $600,000 for trainer Tom Fanning.

Rusty’s Revenge, a 4-year-old son of Cam’s Card Shark out of Jasmine Hanover, also competed last year, earning $13,791 in a dozen starts.

Her 2006 yearling filly by Life Sign brought a bid of $110,000 and she has a filly by No Pan Intended to sell in 2007.

Jasmine Hanover was bred and is still owned by Hanover Shoe Farms. She was bred to the late Artsplace in 2006.

What mare would you pick for Trotting Broodmare of the Year? And for Pacing Broodmare of the Year? Can you think of any other mares that deserve consideration for these honors?
