With his fifth drive of the day, Cat Manzi reached the winner’s circle at Freehold Raceway on Friday, November 29. The victory marked the return of the Hall of Fame driver, who was sidelined since September 6 when he suffered multiple pelvic fractures in a racing accident.

For Manzi, the victory was the 14,790th of his career. He is third highest all-time winningest driver in harness racing history.

The 63-year-old Freehold resident was a three and three-quarter length winner with Scoots West in the 10th race. He also finished second twice among his seven drives on the program.

Manzi donated his Friday earnings to benefit another injured driver, Anthony Coletta, who was in a racing accident on November 17 at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
