For the first five races of his career, three as a 2-year-old with John Tammaro and his first two starts last spring for Greg Sacco, Freud’s Honour was strictly a dirt sprinter.

Presious Passion will make his first start since January 2011 in Saturday's $75,000 Elkwood Stakes at Monmouth Park.

It has taken a great deal of time and a surgical procedure, but Presious Passion is finally ready to resume racing.

Unraced since January 2011, the 9-year-old Presious Passion will launch his comeback Saturday at a distance far less than he usually prefers in the $75,000 Elkwood Stakes at Monmouth Park.
