Freehold, NJ — Saturday (March 26) was the first Saturday of spring, and Jim Marohn Jr certainly had a spring in his step, driving four harness racing winners on the 13-race card at Freehold Raceway.

Marohn picked up his first win in race 2, guiding Risky Buddy to victory for owner/trainer Ralph Silvestri. He added another victory in the 4th race, the first division of the first leg of the Tony Dandeo Memorial Pacing Series.

He won with Paul Stafford trainee Northern Baccarat. Marohn completed the hat trick in race 9, the second division of the Dandeo series, as Davids Coming Home made a first-over sweep to the lead and won going away. Chris Height was the winning trainer.

The third division of the first leg of the Dandeo series went to favored DL’s Big Elvis, driven by Joe Bongiorno for trainer John Wyatt.

The series continues next Saturday, with the final on Saturday, April 9.

Joe Lee sat back off the leaders with Allindotime and then rallied his charge to a 2:01.2 victory in the $9,000 American Harness Drivers Club trot today at Freehold Raceway.

When the wings of the mobile gate folded Matt Zuccarello sent Lionhead to the lead from the seven-hole and they gained command over Latoka (John Calabrese) after the quarter mile timer flashed :30 seconds. From there Lionhead showed the way past the half in 1:01.2 as If I Must (Paul Minore) kept the pressure on the leader and his challenge allowed the trailers to move behind cover.

When the field headed up the backside Lionhead was still in charge but Calabrese had Allindotime moving on the outside behind cover as the three quarter timer flashed 1:31.2.

In the lane both Lionhead and If I Must faded and Calabrese’s trotter was the strong horse and went on to a 2:01.2 victory. Latoka was second best and Take A Wish (Dawn Anderson) rallied from last to garner the show dough.

ALLINDOTIME REPLAY

Allindotime, a 7-year-old Andover Hall gelding, is owned by Alma Iafelice and trained by Bill Mac Kenzie. He paid $4.80 for the win.

Live racing at Freehold resumes on Friday (April 1), starting at about 12:30 PM.
