Jim Marohn, Jr. kicked off his December at Freehold Raceway in a big way on Friday, as he enjoyed a multiple-win performance on the nine-race program.
Marohn got his first victory in the third race, guiding Catalyst to the winner's circle for trainer Jody Dunning. He picked up another victory in Race 5 with Tom Fanning's Unspoken Promise. The hat trick was completed with 1-5 Mugshot Jess in Race 7, who won for trainer Taylor Gower. Marohn got his fourth driving Canary Hanover in Race 8, who had to fly down the stretch to get up over So It Goes Hanover in the last stride. Bucky Angle trained that winner.
Marohn's big afternoon gives him 47 winners on the calendar year at Freehold, from 300 drives. He's got 20 wins from 105 mounts since the resumption of racing on August 30.
Live racing continues at Freehold on Saturday with a first post time scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
