From Hall of Fame biography: A foal of 1938 by Sandy Flash out of Calumet Aristocrat, Bill Gallon was purchased as a yearling by Hugh “Doc” Parshall for R. Horace Johnston of Whitehall Stud Farm, Charlotte, North Carolina. After taking ten of seventeen heats during his freshman campaign, Bill Gallon came into his own as a three-year-old in 1941. With Lee Smith in the sulky, he won that year’s Hambletonian and Kentucky Futurity, as well as the Review and Horseman Futurities. He stood at Hanover Shoe Farms for eighteen years, siring such outstanding trotters as Stenographer, Harlan and Galophone. Bill Gallon died in 1970 at age 32 and was buried where he was first broken to harness, at Whitehall Stud Farm.
Winner of the Hambletonian Stakes 1948. When Demon Hanover swept the two-heat 1948 Hambletonian, “Steamin’ Demon” and owner-driver Harrison Hoyt were joined in the winner’s circle by Hoyt’s wife and two young sons. Hoyt, a Bethel, Connecticut hat manufacturer, had been driving for just three years. Purchased for $2,600 at the Harrisburg Sale, Demon Hanover raced in Saratoga Amateur trots at two. In 1948, he won the Historic Dickinson Cup and the Matron before the Hambletonian. It was the only time that a Hambletonian winner was selected, trained, and driven by an amateur. Demon Hanover dominated not only the three-year-olds, but also the free-for-allers, racing until the end of the 1951 season. He retired with a then trotting record $187,344.61 to his credit, with wins in the Roosevelt Two Mile Trot, American Trotting Championship, Trotting Derby, aged division of the Hambletonian, Sportsman’s Park Trotting Derby (twice), Batavia Downs Invitational and the Michigan Governor’s Trophy. Sold to Walnut Hall Farm for the huge amount of 500,000 dollar, but died shortly after to colic, only 12 years old. Hall of Fame in 2000.
