SBOANJ’s NJSS Green Acres Preview

Chocolate Delight could sweeten his bankroll on Friday (October 25) in the $25,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes – Green Acres Final for three-year-old trotting colts at Freehold Raceway.

The son of Chocolatier, driven by Jim Meittinis and trained by Oyvind Hegdal, has been installed as the 2-1 morning-line favourite in the field of six.

The gelding will start from Post 3.

Chocolate Delight splits his time between the racetrack and the show ring. Twelve-year-old Victoria Hegdal of New Egypt, NJ has earned ribbons with the trotter, who is trained by her father and owned by her mother, Camilia.

On the track, Chocolate Delight has three wins, two seconds and one third from 11 starts this year, banking $27,165 toward a career total of $36,225.
