"They noticed he wasn't acting right. Also his stomach was kind of bloated, so they took him right to Mid-Atlantic and from there the vets took over. Once they got in there and saw what they were dealing with it was not a close call about euthanizing him. They called it a gastric impaction. What that means is he was eating fine but it was not going past the stomach into the intestines. Consequently the stomach kept blowing up." Rocknroll Hanover, bred by Hanover Farms, sold for $190,000 at the 2001 Harrisburg Yearling Sale. He is by Western Ideal out of the Direct Scooter mare Rich N Elegant. Campaigned by Jeff Snyder and trained by Brett Pelling. His first big win came in the 2004 Metro, where he scored an upset win at 31-1 with Brian Sears driving.
