Freehold, NJ — Mike Polansky perched My Big Kadillac on cover and launched into a victorious far-turn assault in the $9,000 American Harness Drivers Club Trot at Freehold Raceway on Saturday (Feb. 24).

Leaving from post four, My Big Kadillac floated away fourth while Zlatan (Jacob Stillwell) pushed to lead the field by a :29.4 first quarter. Awol Hanover (Steven Reisenweaver) pulled off the pylons from third swinging towards the stands to mount pressure on Zlatan while My Big Kadillac tipped out in tow to a 1:00.2 half.

Zlatan maintained control up the backside as Awol Hanover stalled, which prompted Polansky to make a three-high move to three-quarters in 1:30.2. Gathering momentum, My Big Kadillac came barreling off the corner to overhaul Zlatan and held firm on the point to the finish of a 2:01.2 mile as Drazzmatazz (Yogi Sheridan) lunged home for second, beaten a neck. Zlatan settled for third and Allindotime (Bruce Baker), the 5-2 favorite, sat a pylon trip to grab fourth.

Mike Polansky owns and trains My Big Kadillac, a 10-year-old gelding by Kadabra. Off at 10-1, he returned $22 to win.

AHDC action resumes at Freehold Raceway next Saturday (March 2). First-race post time is 12:30 p.m. (EST).
