Overlooked and sent away at odds of over 6-1, Bob Hechkoff took no prisoners and went down the road with Pound Sterling to win the $9,000 American Harness Drivers Club Trot on Saturday (May 22) at Freehold Raceway.
When the wings of the mobile gate folded Hechkoff sent his trotter for the lead and they had command before the quarter in :29. In doing so, they kept Matt Zuccarello and Red Hot Herbie out in the fresh air. After Zuccarello found a hole along the pylons Pound Sterling was all alone on the lead and took the field by the halfway point in :59.1.
