FREEHOLD, NJ – – Freehold Raceway will offer a special 12 race card of live harness racing action on Monday afternoon, in honor of the Presidents Day holiday.

In the featured sixth race pace, The Barber N, fresh off a game win against $10,000 claimers in his latest start at Freehold on February 10, will open on the board as the 3-1 favorite in the morning line.

Hall of Famer Cat Manzi, who guided The Barber N to victory last out, has been given the return assignment in the sulky by trainer Gino Palazzolo. The eight-year-old Holmes Hanover gelding, owned by John Palazzolo, will leave the gate from post two.

Completing the field are Rudy’s Ball, DJ Cadet, Heza Gambler, Congress, Jay Bee’s Flush N, Tough On Top and Patrician.

Freehold’s live card will commence with a first post of 12:30 p.m.
