Garden State Trot attracts four

Freehold, NJ — A small but select field will line up in the Garden State Trot for 3-year-old fillies at Freehold Raceway this Friday (Sept. 11). Four fillies will contest the $40,000 race, which will be contested as a non-betting affair at 12:15 p.m.

Two fillies stand out over the rest: Common Sense S and Ab’sattitudeexpress. The former comes off an impressive win in the second leg of the New Jersey Sire Stakes-Standardbred Development Fund last Friday. She has enjoyed success at Freehold and will seek to continue her winning ways from post position two. Åke Svanstedt is listed as the trainer and driver.

Ab’sattitudeexpress won the first leg of the series handily, drawing off to a 6-3/4 length win in 1:56.2. After a week off, she will get back in action from the outside post position. She is trained by Lucas Wallin and George Brennan keeps the drive.

Alyvia Deo and Never Late Kait round out the field.

The 11-race pari-mutuel card is headlined by two divisions of the NJSS-SDF for 3-year-old trotting colts and geldings. The first division (race three) drew a field of five. AP Hall Of Trix, who went off as the favorite last week in the first leg before going off stride, and Fly Eagle Fly, who was second after setting the pace in that race, are the main contenders.

The second division (race five) features a field of six. Kasha V won the first leg last week at 10-1 and will seek a repeat from the inside post position. Southwind Hillrazr, who was third after an early break, figures to be his toughest rival.

Post time for the first pari-mutuel race on Friday is approximately 12:30 p.m. EDT.
