| There
is no hotter trend in Harness Racing than Amateur
Driving. Amateur races are now being contested at
every major track in the country. The American Harness Drivers Club
is right at
the forefront of this growth. The AHDC conducts races at
Freehold Raceway and The Meadowlands. An amateur driver is someone who has never accepted compensation for driving a third party's horse. Some amateurs are very experienced horsemen holding 'A' licenses; others are true novices. Whether experienced or not, everyone agrees - there is no greater rush than having one thousand pounds of horsepower propelling you along at 35 mph on two ten-speed wheels !! Each year, the AHDC organizes two pacing series at Freehold Raceway, consisting of five legs on Saturday afternoons. Depending on the number of entries, a leg will split to two divisions. At the end of the series, the drivers move to the Meadowlands for a $5,000 final. So, if you want to find out what all of the excitement is about, complete our Membership Application, shine up your boots, polish your helmet and prepare for the time of your life. |
BOB HECHKOFF AND ART'S REGARDS
WIN THE 2010 WINTER PACING FINAL
| BOB HECHKOFF AND ART'S REGARDS
ACCEPT THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY FROM MR. & MRS. EUGENE LANDY AND SAM LANDY |
THE 2010 WINTER PACING FINAL
THE MEADOWLANDS
FRIDAY JANUARY 15, 2010
| Cherry Hill, NJ - Veteran
amateur racer Bob Hechkoff steered
his own Art's Regards to victory for
trainer Jim Doherty, Jr. in
the American Harness Drivers Club's $4,000 2010
Winter Pacing Final on Friday January 15 at The
Meadowlands. This event pitted the top ten
drivers from the AHDC's abbreviated 2009 Fall Pacing
Series based on their finish in the two
divisions contested on Saturday November 28, 2009 at
Freehold Raceway. The owner and president of Hechkoff Executive Search, Inc. is certainly no stranger to the Meadowlands Winners Circle as a member of the AHDC as he now has several final championships to his credit. With the victory in the Winter Pacing Final, the resident of Manhattan, New York can now add another bullet-point to his already impressive driving resume. Through the first three-quarters of the mile, Hechkoff and Art's Regards had deftly worked a textbook pocket trip behind the pacesetters John Regina and Jenna's World. Washington, New Jersey's George Munniskma and his mount Ludi Christy were hanging gamely first-over after an overland trip, featuring a three-wide detour around Karyn Malinowski and Hugme Christi. Trapped on the outside from the start, Dr. Malinowski had little choice but to make a desperate attempt at the lead. By the half-mile mark, Hugme Christi had called it a night and was backing through the field. As they wheeled around the turn and funneled into the long Meadowlands home stretch, Regina was still clinging to his advantage. On the outside, Munniksma had come off the turn a bit wide, creating the seam that Hechkoff had been waiting for. Hechkoff seized the opportunity and wasted little time in firing Art's Regards out from the cones into the outer flow. With plenty of gas left in the tank, Art's Regards and Hechkoff easily sidestepped beyond Munniksma to engage Regina and the now battle-weary Jenna's World. Jenna's World stubbornly fought to hold the lead deep into the stretch, but could not hold off the much fresher Art's Regards. In the shadow of the wire, it appeared that Hechkoff was poised to waltz home to victory. However, from the back in the pack, Neil Goldstein had shaken loose with Sinbad. They were moving like a locomotive in the center of the racetrack. Unfortunately, Goldstein's challenge came up just short as Hechkoff and Art's Regards passed under the wire just a neck in front of the hard-charging Sinbad to take victory and the Winter Pacing Final Championship. Time of the mile over a fast racing surface was 1:58 after fractions of 28, 58.3 and 1:28 through three-quarters. Munniksma took the show spot with Ludi Christy while Regina and a fading Jenna's World hung in for fourth. Rounding out the participants were Billings Gold Cup Champion Anthony Verusso and It Fits, Phil Winkler and Blazing Finale, Harry Landy with Blue Man Group, Miguel Lopez behind Amano N, David Yarock teaming with Heidi's Character and Dr. Karyn Malinowski with Hugme Christi. |

HARRY LANDY & BLUE MAN
GROUP;
KARYN MALINOSKI WITH
HUGME CHRISTI TAKE DIVISIONS OF THE FALL PACING SERIES
THE 2009 FALL PACING SERIES
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ - In
early September, the future of the American Harness Drivers Club was at a crossroads. The Freehold
Raceway race office was operating in crisis
mode, trying to fill competitive fields as a
by-product of the current economic crisis in addition to
the overall state of Harness Racing in New Jersey.
With few options, Freehold's race secretary Karen
Fagliarone made a plea to club president Bernie Boland to consider a postponement, if not
a cancellation of the upcoming AHDC Fall Pacing
Series. Obligingly, the club agreed and it appeared
that the eighteen-year run that the AHDC had enjoyed at
Freehold Raceway was in jeopardy. Fortunately, due to the ingenuity and diligence of several members of the club working behind the scenes with the Freehold race office, a recent agreement has been hammered out which permits the AHDC to resurrect at least a portion of the Fall Pacing Series. As a result, the American Harness Drivers Club happily returned to action at Freehold Raceway with a reconstituted 2009 Fall Pacing Series on Saturday November 28th with two divisions of pacers and amateur drivers. Under warm but blustery conditions, the first division found teenaged whiz kid Harry Landy picking up right where he left off in the 2009 Spring Pacing Series. Sitting comfortably in the back of the six-horse field, Landy waited until the parade had passed the three-quarter mark to pull his mount Blue Man Group into the outer flow. By the time they reached the top of the lane, Landy had circled beyond all but the leaders, Neil Goldstein and Sinbad. In mid-stretch, Goldstein tried to put up a fight but it was to no avail as Sinbad had little left in the tank. Landy and Blue Man Group sailed by and hit the wire two-lengths to the good, stopping the Freehold timer at 2:01.4 after fractions of 29.2, 59.4 and 1:31.2. Goldstein and Sinbad were second while Tony Verusso took the show spot with It Fits. Early leaders John Regina and Jenna's World finished fourth while Phil Winkler with Blazing Finale and Tom Reynolds steering Benzorama A rounded out the order of finish. In the second event, Karyn Malinowski led from gate to wire with her own Hugme Christi. Ironically, Dr. Malinowski was nearly forced to bow out of the proceedings as the mount she had planned to enter was injured in the field while Hugme Christi had been previously committed into another race. As racing luck would have it, Hugme Christi drew in "Also Eligible", giving Malinowski the opportunity to race with the AHDC. Along the way, Malinowski shrugged off a stubborn early challenge from Dave Yarock and Heidi's Character, then stiff-armed Miguel Lopez and Amano N in a hard fought stretch duel to take the narrow victory. The time of the mile was 2:02.3 after fractions of 29.1, 1:00 and 1:31. George Munniksma took the show dough steering Ludi Christy in a solid effort while Bob Hechkoff behind Art's Regards, Danielle Dailey with Summer Life N and Dave Yarock with Heidi's Character round out the field. The future of the AHDC, once very bleak, appears to have taken a positive turn. There have been preliminary discussions between the club and Freehold Raceway, which proposes additional dates in 2009, as well as the winter months of 2010 as conditions have become more favorable. There are also plans for modified series "Final" at the Meadowlands in early January. While the details still need to be ironed-out and documented, it appears that all indicators point to the AHDC continuing its support of amateur harness racing for both the present and for some time to come. |

HARRY LANDY AND M'S EZ PASS
WIN THE SPRING PACING SERIES
CHAMPIONSHIP
| EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ June 5,
2009 Harry Landy, who
won a division of the Billings Series in the afternoon at
Freehold, completed the amateur driving daily double by
capturing the American Harness
Drivers Club's 2009 Spring Pacing Series Final
with M's EZ Pass on Friday night, June 5 at the
Meadowlands. Landy, 17, a junior at Monroe Township High School, rallied Ms EZ Pass for a three-quarter length victory over Royal Flush Shark, driven by Brad Rathbone. Carmen Ciccone was third by three and a quarter lengths with Blue Man Group. Earlier in the day, Landy posted a wire-to-wire victory with Honor The Cash who trotted the mile in 2:00.2 at Freehold. Fighting the raindrops, Landy was sitting third at the three-quarter mark behind leaders John Regina steering Jingling and Dave Yarock with Sylvains Friend. Turning for home, Landy tipped M's EZ Pass to the outside and was quickly challenging for the lead. As the ten combatants fanned into the long Meadowlands homestretch, Regina desperately asked Jingling to hang on for just a few more yards. But it was not to be as Jingling was fading fast, allowing Landy to swoop in and take the lead. At the same time, Rathbone was following right in Landy's wake as he had Royal Flush Shark moving like a locomotive with an aggressive bid from the outside. However, it was too little too late for Rathbone as he ran out of race track just as Landy and the nine-year-old daughter of Pacific Fella, owned by his father Sam, passed under the wire, three-quarters of a length to the good, giving him his first AHDC series championship. The mile was clocked in 1:58.3 after fractions of 28.4, 59.3 and 1:28.4 over a track made sloppy by a day-long northeastern storm. Carmen Ciccone, driving Blue Man Group for Harry's grandfather Gene, surged up late from mid-pack to take the show spot. Regina and Jingling hung on for fourth. Rounding out the field were Miguel Lopez and Amano N in fifth, Yarock and Sylvains Friend fell back to finish sixth, Neil Goldstein and Summer Life N finishing seventh followed by Nick Surick and El Nino Hanover, George Munniskma with Jimeoin N and Karyn Malinowski with Jolee. With the victory, Landy has captured the overall combined points title, awarded to the driver gaining the most series points after competing in the final, combined with total points attained in the 2008 Fall Pacing Series. He is now eligible to represent the AHDC in the annual Tim Fouts Memorial Amateur Driving Championship, traditionally held during Little Brown Jug week at the Delaware, Ohio Fairgrounds in September. The final marks the end of the 2009 Spring Pacing Series. The AHDC is slated to return to action with the 2009 Fall Pacing Series in late-September.

SATURDAY MAY 30, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ -
Monroe Township, New Jersey's Harry Landy
with M's EZ Pass and Freehold, New Jersey
trainer Nick Surick behind El Nino Hanover each took
come-from-behind victories in divisions of the fifth and
final preliminary leg of the American Harness Drivers Club's 2009 Spring Pacing Series on Saturday, May 30
at a sun splashed Freehold Raceway. In the first event, Landy was sitting in the back of the pack with M's Ez Pass as AHDC newcomer Danielle Dailey was leading the way with Nyoko Hanover. Ms. Dailey had been on the engine from the gate to the three-quarter marker, setting fractions of 29.1, 1:00.3 and 1:31.1. Tony Piserchia and Cambar were enjoying a pocket trip in second, while Brad Rathbone had tipped to the outside with Royal Flush Shark and was third. As the field spun into the far turn, Landy pulled the 9-year-old daughter of Pacific Fella three-wide around Royal Flush Shark and was now stalking the leaders. Turning for home, M's Ez Pass was in full throttle and made quick work of Nyoko Hanover, sailing by with ease. Rathbone and Royal Flush Shark finally found another gear and were hot on their tail while Piserchia challenged from the passing lane. However, M's EZ Pass was much the best and had all the momentum, allowing Landy to waltz home with a length and a quarter victory, giving him his second score of the series. Time of the mile was 2:00.1. Brad Rathbone and a hard-charging Royal Flush Shark were second while Tony Piserchia and Cambar were third. Danielle Dailey with Nyoko Hanover and George Munniksma and Jimeoin N rounded out the order of finish. The second heat was nearly a carbon-copy of the first as Nick Surick waited in the back of the bus with El Nino Hanover as John Regina with Jingling were battling with Dave Yarock and Sylvains Friend for control of the front end. Neil Goldstein was sitting third with Summer Life N while Miguel Lopez was second over with Amano N. As they passed the three-quarter mark, Sylvains Friend had packed it in after the rough early going and was sliding backwards through the field. Lopez used the opportunity to maneuver Amano N up to challenge Regina, giving Surick an opening to move El Nino Hanover into the outer flow. With each powerful stride, Surick asked El Nino Hanover for more, and the 11-year-old gelded son of Artsplace responded in kind. Turning for home, Surick had circled the field and was taking aim on Regina and Jingling. They proved easy prey for Surick as Jingling was beginning to show the affects of the early cat-and-mouse game with Yarock. In deep stretch, Surick had El Nino Hanover moving like a winner, opening up a three-length advantage. At the wire, it was Surick and El Nino Hanover all by themselves, with Regina and Jingling holding on for second while Lopez and Amano N took the show spot. Time of the mile was 2:00.4 after fractions of 29, 59.4 and 1:31 to the three-quarter mark. Neil Goldstein and Summer Life N finished fourth while Dave Yarock and a fading Sylvains Friend rounded out the order of finish. The top-ten point earning drivers from the regular season series will now move on to The Meadowlands as the AHDC will present the 2009 Spring Pacing Series Final to be contested on Friday, June 5, 2009. |

LEG IV
FREEHOLD RACEWAY
SATURDAY MAY 9, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ - Dr. Karyn Malinowski, steering her own Jolee and Dave Yarock
with Sylvains Friend took divisional
honors in the fourth leg of the American Harness Drivers Club's 2009 Spring Pacing Series
on Saturday May 9 at Freehold
Raceway. In the first event, Miguel Lopez and Amano N fired from the starting gate and charged to the lead. Malinowski followed and took a seat in second behind the pacesetters while Harry Landy challenged from the outside with M's EZ Pass. These three stayed in formation through fractions of 29.2, 1:00.2 and 1:30.4 to the three-quarter mark. Turning for home, Dr. Malinowski ducked her five-year-old daughter of Artiscape into the passing lane to challenge Lopez from the inside. In the meantime, Landy and M's EZ Pass were fading after a brutal first-over trip, never seeing the pylons. With a quick burst, Jolee drew even then rushed just beyond Amano N. Lopez, hardly ready to concede, fought back valiantly in an entertaining fight to the finish. However, Jolee came with her 'A' game and was able to keep her head in front as they passed under the wire, giving Malinowski her first victory of the series. Time of the mile over a fast Freehold racing surface was 2:01. Neil Goldstein and Summer Life N rushed up late and were also a part of the win photo, but had to settle for the show spot. George Munniksma and Jimeoin N were fourth while Harry Landy and M's EZ Pass rounded out the order of finish. In the second division, Dave Yarock and Sylvains Friend set all the fractions then gamely fought off a late hard-charging bid from Leg III winners Nick Surick and El Nino Hanover en-route to a wire-to-wire victory. For Yarock, it was also his first score of the season series. Time of the second divsion mile was 2:02 after fractions of 30.2, 1:02.2 and 1:32.2 through three-quarters. Surick and El Nino Hanover finished second while Brad Rathbone and Royal Flush Shark were third. Rounding out the field were Tony Piserchia behind Cambar and John Regina with Jingling. The American Harness Drivers Club will return to action at Freehold Raceway with the fifth leg of the 2009 Spring Pacing Series on Saturday, May 23. |

CARMEN CICCONE & HEEZACLOWN;

SCORE IN DIVISIONS OF LEG III
THE 2009 SPRING PACING SERIES
LEG III
FREEHOLD RACEWAY
SATURDAY APRIL 25, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ
- The American
Harness Drivers Club continues its
march through the spring as two divisions of pacers and
drivers went postward in the third leg of the 2009 Spring
Pacing Series on Saturday April 25 at Freehold
Raceway. South Salem, New York's Carmen Ciccone steered Heezaclown to victory in the
first heat for trainer Ned Urbanski while AHDC
newcomer Nicholas
Surick took the honors in the
second event behind El Nino Hanover for Anna Glide. With summerlike temperatures hovering in the low 80's, Ciccone grabbed an early lead in division one with Heezaclown. He then comfortably led the parade around the historic Freehold half-miler through fractions of 30.2, 59.3 and 1:29.2 to the three-quarter mark. Turning for home, Neil Goldstein came from near the back of the pack to offer a mild bid with Sammy Jo. However, Ciccone and the seven-year-old Grandslam Cam gelding proved much the best as they coasted away from Goldstein en-route to an easy wire-to-wire score. Final time of the mile was 1:59.2. Goldstein finished second with Sammy Jo while Brad Rathbone took the show spot with Royal Flush Shark. Tony Piserchia and Cambar, Dave Yarock with Sylvains Friend and Danielle Dailey behind Nyoko Hanover round out the order of finish. In the second division, Bedminster, New Jersey's John Regina attempted and nearly duplicated Ciccone's antics while steering Jingling. However, Nicholas Surick, in his first start as a member of the AHDC had other ideas. Nearing the top of the stretch, the twenty-something Freehold, New Jersey resident and mount El Nino Hanover were parked in third, chasing both Regina and Harry Landy, who was pocket-sitting in second with M's EZ Pass. Down the lane, Regina and Jingling appeared to have things well in hand and were poised to pull away for an easy score. Suddenly, with but a sixteenth of a mile separating them from victory, Jingling began to run out of steam. With a furious rush, both Surick and Landy took advantage and pulled even with Regina. A three-horse charge entertained the fans as they battled to the wire. When the dust had settled, it was El Nino Hanover getting up in the final strides to hit the wire first, a neck to the good, giving Surick a win in his first start with the AHDC. Landy and M's EZ Pass were second while Regina and a tiring Jingling took the show money. Time of the mile was 1:59.2 after the earlier fractions of 28.1, 59.1 and 1:59.2. Miguel Lopez made his seasonal debut with Amano N, while Christopher Corvasce with Pangenesis and Dr. Karyn Malinowski, steering her own Jolee, round out the second division order of finish. |

HARRY LANDY & BLUE MAN
GROUP; NEIL GOLDSTEIN WITH SAMMY JO
WIN IN DIVISIONS OF LEG II
THE 2009 SPRING PACING SERIES
LEG II
FREEHOLD RACEWAY
SATURDAY APRIL 11, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ - Two divisions of pacers and amateur
drivers braved the elements to compete in the second leg
of the American
Harness Drivers Club's 2009 Spring
Pacing series at a rainy, windswept Freehold Raceway on
Saturday April 11. Teenaged phenom Harry Landy
captured the first event, teaming with Blue Man Group
for trainer Jim
Porter, while AHDC veteran Neil Goldstein grabbed the nightcap, splashing to victory
with Sammy Jo for Ned Urbanski. Division I found Landy comfortably fourth at the half mile mark. He patiently watched as Bob Hechkoff and Sylvains Friend were hard at work keeping Carmen Ciccone and Heezaclown parked first over in a showdown for the top spot. John Regina was pocket sitting in third with Jingling while George Munniksma, the winner of Leg I was fifth with Jimeoin N. Wheeling into the backstretch, Landy flipped the switch and tipped Blue Man Group out to a second-over position, ready to engage the leaders while at the same time trapping Regina along the cones. As the battle continued to rage down the backstretch and into the far turn, Hechkoff and Ciccone were still locked head-and-head for the lead. However, it was evident that the war had visibly taken the sting out of Sylvains Friend and Heezaclown. Turning for home, Landy pulled into the center of the racetrack, easily overtaking the tiring leaders. Regina, now hopelessly locked in behind the now-fading Sylvains Friend, could only watch in Landy's exhaust. Munniksma found an opening and slid into the passing lane to challenge from the inside. However, Jimeoin N could not keep up with the hard-charging Blue Man Group, who easily pulled away to hit the wire, an open length victor. Time of the soggy first division mile was 2:04.4, after fractions of 30.2, 1:01.2 and 1:33 flat to the three quarters. The win gave the high school student from Monroe Township, New Jersey his second victory as a member of the American Harness Drivers Club in this, his second season of competition. A judges' inquiry showed that Munniksma had tried to lengthen the passing lane by straddling a few more of the pylons than allowed, disqualifying him and Jimeoin N from second to fifth. This placed Hechkoff second with Sylvains Friend, Ciccone third with Heezaclown and Regina fourth with Jingling. With the rain falling heavier and steadier in the second division, Phil Winkler, making his first start of the series, tried to take the contest wire-to-wire with Poker Oak. East Brunswick, NJ's Neil Goldstein shadowed his every move with Sammy Jo. At the five-eights marker, Goldstein pulled the five-year-old Dragon Again mare to the outside to state his intentions. Brad Rathbone, also making his return to the AHDC ranks, followed closely on the inside with Royal Flush Shark. These three stayed in formation as they spun around the far turn and hit the top of the lane. Turning for home, it was Winkler sandwiched between Goldstein on the outside and Rathbone in the passing lane in a classic and entertaining fight to the finish. When the dust, or in this case mud had settled, it was Goldstein and Sammy Jo pulling ahead of a tiring Poker Oak and outlasting a charging Rathbone and Royal Flush Shark to reach the wire about a half length to the good. Time of the mile was a raindrop-dodging 2:06.3 after fractions of 31.1, 1:05 and 1:36.1. Winkler took the show dough with Poker Oak while AHDC newcomers Danielle Dailey with Summer Life N and Christopher Corvasce taking the lines behind Pangenesis, rounded out the order of finish. The American Harness Drivers Club returns to action at Freehold Raceway with the third leg of the Spring Pacing Series on Saturday, April 25. |

THE 2009 SPRING PACING SERIES
LEG I
FREEHOLD RACEWAY
SATURDAY MARCH 28, 2009
| Cherry Hill, NJ -
Washington, New Jersey's George Munniksma, teaming
with Jimeoin N, surged to victory as the American Harness Drivers Club raised the flag on its 17th year of amateur
racing at Freehold Raceway on Saturday, March 29 with
first leg of the 2009 Spring Pacing Series. A blustery, steely gray morning set the stage as the field, reduced to eight due to a late scratch, lined up to face starting judge Bob Blum. John Regina, steering Jingling and Bob Heckhoff with Sylvain's Friend floated out from post one and two respectively to duel for the early advantage. Harry Landy, in the trailer position, followed with Blue Man Group while Munniksma took a spot with Jimeoin N along the cones in fourth. The leaders stayed in position until the five-eights marker when a fading Sylvains Friend began to fall behind the pace. Munniksma, now third and with plenty of horse, pulled the Walton Hanover gelding to the outside, taking aim on Regina. Spinning into the far turn, Munniksma and Jimeoin N had edged beyond Landy and had pulled head and head with the leaders. Entering the stretch, Jingling began to feel the effects of the early speed and was no match for the fresher Jimeoin N. However, Landy had saved all the ground in a textbook pocket trip with Blue Man Group and was stubbornly challenging Munniksma in the passing lane. In a classic stretch drive, Landy and Munniksma put on quite a show. But, as the real estate dwindled from yards to feet, a very game Jimeoin N kept his head in front and hit the wire first giving Munniksma the victory, his first in competition with the AHDC. Time of the mile over a damp Freehold Raceway racing surface was 2:02.1 after fractions of 29, 1:00.4, and 1:31.3 through three-quarters of a mile. Coming on late to take the show dough was Neil Goldstein and Sammy Jo. Joe De Martine and Bring The Pain finished fourth while Regina and Jingling fell back to fifth. Rounding out the order of finish were Carmen Ciccone guiding Heezaclown, Dave Yarock holding the lines behind Heidi's Character and early the challengers Bob Heckhoff with Sylvains Friend. The American Harness Drivers Club returns to action at Freehold Raceway with the second leg of the Spring Pacing Series on Saturday, April 11. |
