Hanover Shoe Farms has announced that World Champion trotting mare Beat The Wheel passed away at the farm on Monday, December 5
. The cause of death was kidney failure, which led to a breakdown of her vital organs.
Beat The Wheel was a multiple stakes winner at ages two and three. However, it was at four where she really shone. She became the world’s fastest trotter ever, taking a record of 1:51.4 in defeating Pine Chip among others. She was a multiple Free For All and fast class winner often defeating male opponents including S Js Photo.
She was equally proficient as a broodmare producing the well-known stakes winners Beatgoeson Hanover ($597,615 at two and three), Dexter Cup winner Beissinger Hanover 3,1.56.1, 1.55.4h ($291,623) and Berndt Hanover 2,1.57.4 ($264,025 at two and three). Her daughter Lady Luck Hanover is the dam of the multiple stakes winner Luckycharm Hanover ($388,146 at two and three).
She was laid to rest at the Hanover She Farms cemetery next to the great filly and World Champion-producing broodmare Cathedra.
Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the connections of Beat The Wheel.
