Freehold Raceway is celebrating the day after Christmas in style, with a loaded 12-race card on Saturday (Dec. 26). The co-headliners are three divisions of the Preferred Handicap: two on the pace, one on the trot.
The Preferred Handicap Trot drew a field of eight, and was carded as the sixth race, with a scheduled post time of 2:10 p.m. (EST). Kinda Lucky Lindy, off two near-misses against tough company at Yonkers Raceway, looms as the likeliest winner. Daniel Dube will be in the bike from post 8, for trainer Daniel Renaud. Gettin Messi qualified at this track impressively a few weeks ago, and finished second in each of his last two at Yonkers.
