Down Under Winners with Carter Dalgety

Massive harness racing day at Freehold for down under Pacers.

The race meeting at Freehold Raceway on Saturday saw a significant down under involvement. It was a 12 race meeting which saw half of the races taken out by New Zealand and Australian harness horses.

The first of six down under winners for the day came in race 1 with Chumlee A. Trained by Candace Brandstatter and driven by Joe Bongiorno, the 11yo gelding was driven hard out of gate 3 to find the front. He then remained there throughout to win nicely in 1:58.2.

Soon after in race 2, Firenglow A showed a dashing touch of speed to win his race in 1:56.1. Driver Jacob Cutting settled the Courage Under Fire gelding well back in the field early and stayed there throughout to then make a late dash at rivals to clear them all and win.

Kept Under Wraps A then showed a post to post victory for trainer Michael Fiumenero. The 11yo was sent out of barrier 1 quickly to hold the front running position. From then it was the 28.1 third quarter that tired rivals and allowed Kept Under Wraps A to hold off any challenges in the stretch. To take home first prize in 1:55.2

The second winner on the day sired by Courage Under Fire came from Permission A, who was trained, driven and owned by Eric Abbatiello. Settling in the running line throughout, the 9yo just nipped other down under pacer in Ideal Liner N to win in 1:55.0. Making it a down under quinella.

Glengarry Knight N was a nice winner in a $12,000 Pace. He lead early but then saw cover and chased very hard in the stretch to do enough to take victory. Trainer Chris Height had Vincent Ginsburg in the bike for the 1:56.0 mile victory.

To round out the big day it was a down under trifecta, headed by Campora A. A dominant performance saw the 10yo put up a nice margin on the two down under pacers that were chasing being being Americanbootscoota A and Texican N who finished second and third. Driver Jim Marohn Jr pushed Campora A out of post 1 to maintain the stay their throughout to score in 1:55.3.
