Rematch in Freehold Friday feature
At 0h02, on May 12, 2021 • By FREEHOLD
Last week, Windsong Pioneer was looking for his second win in a row in the Preferred Handicap Trot at Freehold Raceway. However, longshot Drazzmatazz surged up the inside and beat him by a neck.
Now, those two will square off in a rematch in this Friday’s (May 14) Preferred Handicap Trot. They headline a field of six that will go in the seventh race, scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
Windsong Pioneer drew the outside post position for trainer Paul Stafford and driver Austin Siegelman. He went gate-to-wire two weeks ago in the Preferred Handicap, winning by three lengths while trotting in 1:58.1 in windy conditions. This year, he’s won five times from 14 starts, with earnings of $52,070. The highlight of his year came on April 7, when he won a division of the second leg of the John Brennan trotting series at Yonkers Raceway by a nose.
Post time for the first of 10 races at Freehold on Friday is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
