Freehold, NJ – Although Shared Interest A was third choice in the betting driver Tony Beltrami drove him like the favorite and sent him immediately to the lead from the two-hole and proceeded to make every pole a winning one en route to a 3-1/2- length victory in 1:59.4 in the $9000 American Harness Drivers Club trot today at Freehold Raceway.

When the wings of the mobile gate folded Beltrami hustled his trotter to the front-end and led If I Must and driver Paul Minore by three lengths as they passed the first stanza in :29.3. Still in command when they passed the half in 1:00 Shared Interest A braced for a challenge from John Calabrese and Allindotime and they were heads apart as they trotted by the three quarters in 1:29.4.

But when they straightened for home Shared Interest A put it in nother gear and opened lengths on his challenger as he cruised home an easy  3-1/2 length winner.  In the deep stretch If I Must rallied and trotted by Allindotime to finish.second  while Allindotim hung on for the show dough.

Shared  Interest A, a 10-year-old Angus Hall gelding, is owned by Triple Q Stables and trained  by Edwin Quevido.  He paid $11.20 for the win.
