Grace Hill highlights Freehold Saturday card
At 0h11, on September 24, 2021 • By FREEHOLD
The Homegrown pace for 3-year-old fillies has attracted a field of six to Freehold Raceway this Saturday (Sept. 25). However, one name looms large above the others: Grace Hill.
This Nifty Norman-trained filly has been on a hot streak lately, with four consecutive wins. Her victories include the Shady Daisy at The Meadowlands, over Fire Start Hanover, the James Lynch Memorial at Pocono, and the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final at Pocono last out. Earlier in the year, she was second in the Nadia Lobell at Hoosier Park behind Hot Mess Express. This year, she’s won five times from 12 starts, with earnings of $409,908.
On Saturday, Grace Hill is the even-money morning line favorite, but will likely be a much lower price at post time. Because of her presence, no place or show wagering will be offered on the contest. George Brennan has the drive from post position three.
Podium Girl, Blonde Onthe Beach, Major Houlihan, Always B Laughin, and Southwind Xena round out the field. The race is scheduled as the eighth on the card, with a listed post time of 2:50 p.m.
The first live pari-mutuel race on Saturday at Freehold is at about 12:30 p.m.
