Lyons Steel headlines Freehold feature
At 0h02, on March 19, 2021 • By FREEHOLD
Freehold Raceway fans have known how good Lyons Steel is for a long time. He’s won four of his last five races over this track, including a perfect 2-for-2 mark in 2021. In recent times, Lyons Steel has enjoyed great success elsewhere as well. He won the winners-over pace at the Meadowlands February 20, for his second straight win at that track. On Monday night (March 15), he won a division of the first leg of the MGM Borgata series at Yonkers Raceway.
This Saturday, he returns to Freehold, for the Preferred Handicap pace. He’s been assigned the outside post position eight, for trainer Dennis Watson. Austin Siegelman, who drove him to victory on Monday at Yonkers, will be in the sulky.
Lyons Steel will face an interesting field of top-level pacers. Two mares have entered: Dongal Rundlscrk N, for trainer Shaun Vallee, and Best Honey Hanover, trained by Edwin Quevedo. Dongal Rundlscrk N was fourth in the Fillies & Mares Preferred Handicap at Yonkers last out and won three races in a row at that track earlier in the year. Best Honey Hanover has won three of her last six between the Meadowlands and Yonkers. They were assigned the inside two post positions, respectively.
The first of thirteen races at Freehold on Saturday is scheduled for 12:30 PM.
