MILTON, September 20, 2026 – The field for the $1 million Metro Pace (G1) is set following Saturday night’s eliminations at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The $1 million Metro joins the $1 million Mohawk Million (G1) as part of next Saturday’s all-star card. A total of five Grade 1 races are part of the Mohawk Million card.

Shalom Hanover captured his elimination by 4 ½ lengths in 1:49.4 and now follows the path of his stablemate Beau Jangles by entering the Metro Pace final with an undefeated record. The Dr. Ian Moore trainee is seven for seven with $452,891 earned.

Louis-Philippe Roy drives for Shalom Hanover Stable.

Ron Burke trained Eastie Boy and driver Ronnie Wrenn cruised to victory in 1:52 to take the other elimination and will now get another crack at the division’s top colt. Eastie Boy was third behind Shalom Hanover in the September 7th Pennsylvania Sires Stakes final.
