MANALAPAN,
NJ – November 22, 2013 – Jim Pantaleano, one of Freehold’s top drivers, will be
donating his earnings from Saturday’s Freehold racing card to benefit injured
driver Anthony Coletta.
The
Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey and Freehold
Raceway will match Pantaleano’s donation of his five percent of money
earned. Both the SBOANJ and Freehold urge other drivers and trainers to
join Pantaleano and will match their donations from the Saturday, November 23
Freehold program.
Pantaleano
has a driving assignment in all 12 races at Freehold, many of them morning line
favorites or second choices. His assignments, in race order, are: Star Of
The Game, Keep On Amazin, Family Pride, Prestissimo, Csardas, Ideal Danny,
Kaya’s Sweetheart, Beau Rivage N, Travers Hall, Pacific Escape, Butn Your Shirt
Ed and Feel The Blues.
“We
hope that other drivers and trainers will join in this fundraising effort,”
said SBOANJ President Tom Luchento. “If they do, we will match their
contributions. We thank Freehold for supporting this effort to help
Anthony Coletta.”
Coletta
suffered severe injuries in a racing accident on November 17, 2013 at Harrah’s
Philadelphia.
