Marohn wins four races on card at Freehold Raceway on March 6
The saying that March comes in like a lion certainly applies to Jim Marohn Jr. He won four harness races on the first Saturday of March (March 6) at Freehold Raceway.
Marohn got his first win of the day in race 2, as he went gate-to-wire on Sword Ofthe Spirit for trainer Lewis Nunes.
After two runner-up finishes, Marohn got another win in race 7, as Ron Coyne-trained Ozone Blue Chip won the 1-mile race going away.
Marohn completed the hat trick in upset fashion, guiding Ari Allstar to a come-from-behind win in race 10 at 61/1, for trainer Julius Czermann Jr. That is the biggest longshot to win at the Freehold Raceway meet so far, according to a press release.
