Seven for Freehold Saturday Feature

A field of seven will line up for the Preferred Handicap Pace this Saturday (December 14) at Freehold Raceway, featuring an almost entirely different cast of characters from last week’s Preferred.
 
The outside two horses, both shipping in from Yonkers Raceway, figure to be the favorites. Gokudo Hanover, from the Scott DiDomenico barn, lost the preferred at Yonkers by a neck on November 16. Last out, he was sixth in a NW $30,000 race at the New York oval. On the year, he’s won three races, and earned almost $107,000. Pat Berry will drive from post position six.
 
Sunfire Blue Chip, trained by Gary Candell, was assigned the outside post position. He won a NW $30,000 event by a nose two races back, and finished fifth in the open last week. Austin Siegelman will be in the bike, for the 9-year-old horse’s first trip over the Freehold half-miler.
 
Hot Deuce has been in sharp form lately, having won three of his last six races. He’s no stranger to Freehold, with two victories at the fall meet. Joe Bongiorno will drive for his sister Jenn.
 
Tisadream, shipping from Plainridge, Spirit of Truth, a two-time recent winner at Freehold, Shellie de Vie, most recently seventh in the fillies & mares open at Yonkers, and Bullet Bob, fifth in last week’s Preferred at Freehold, complete the septet.
 
The Preferred is scheduled as the eighth race on Friday at Freehold, at approximately 2:50 PM EST.
 
The first of eleven at Freehold on Saturday is listed for 12:30 PM EST.
