Austin Siegelman went into the Friday (April 9) card at Freehold Raceway on a hot streak, having won four races on each of the last three race days. This Friday, he did one better, with five victories.
His biggest victory came in the Preferred Handicap Trot, where he guided Levitation to victory. Coming off a win in the AHDC Amateur Trot, Levitation was the 8-5 favourite in the field of eight. Siegelman sent him to the early lead, but Winneress wrestled back control and cleared to the front just after the opening quarter. Undeterred, Siegelman kept his drive in the pocket, letting Winneress set the pace.
