Sutter Hanover is a tall, sharp and powerful son of leading stallion Dragon Again..
His trainer, the ex kiwi Mark Harder, who put the polish on Meadowlands Pace winner Holborn Hanover, was high in praise of Sutter describing him as “a colt with tremendous gait, a great attitude to racing, huge lung capacity and deceptively quick.”
On a chilly December night in 2006, Sutter Hanover destroyed a class field of 2yo’s in the $450,000 Governors Cup.
He was again ultra impressive in winning the Burlington Stakes at Mohawk in June 2007, before closing strongly to take the second prize to the champion Tell All in the $1.5 million North America Cup.
His sire the Hanover based Dragon Again is rocketing up the sires list in the USA – in 2010 he finished in fifth spot on the USTA General Sires List

Sutter Hanover’s sire Dragon Again has enjoyed a lot of success with No Nukes line mares producing many stakes winners including Sutter Hanover himself. Thus mares by No Nukes line stallions will produce a nice double cross of No Nukes. Such stallions are Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Live Or Die, Caprock, Badlands Hanover, Ticket To Heaven, Barnett Hanover, Union Guy, Kinney Hanover, Northern Lights, etc.
Abercrombie line mares have also had success with Dragon Again producing such stakeswinners as Gryffindor and Moon Beam, and as such they should also cross well with Sutter Hanover. Downunder Abercrombie line stallions include Astreos, Grinfromeartoear, Artiscape, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, Pacific Rocket, Fully Loaded, Peace Of Art, Panorama, Fitch II, Crouch, Orange Sovereign, etc.
With no Cam Fella blood in him Sutter Hanover is open to all mares by Cam Fella line stallions including those by Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Bettors Delight, Presidential Ball, Precious Bunny, Pacific Fella, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.
Sutter Hanover’s second dam is a half sister to French Chef and Plat Du Jour. Any mares carrying a dose of French Chef or Plat Du Jour would be appealing.
As Sutter Hanover is from the same family as The Old Maid and Spinster any mare carrying strains of these great broodmares would be desirable. You might find them through Bachelor Hanover, Toliver Hanover or Dancer Hanover.
