One of the continent's best up and coming drivers has decided to bring his driving suit to The Isle Pompano Park for the foreseeable future. Matt Kakaley, 21, has officially re-located from Ohio and wasted no time making an impact in his South Florida debut as he won the first race on Wednesday evening in gate to wire fashion with claiming pacer Road Hazard in 1:54.3.
 
"There had been a lot of discussion about me going to Ontario for the winter with the Mickey and Ron Burke Stable but that won't be happening now" Kakaley said. "I'll definitely travel for them any time if they ask me to. At this point in time my options were to return to Northfield Park (Cleveland) or come here to help my mother, Linda, with our stable of seven horses. I decided to come here and stay warm and see how I can do catch driving too."

On the Wednesday card, Kakaley debuted with an overwhelming vote of confidence. He had seven drives on the 10-race card. It was less than four months ago that Kakaley became the youngest driver in history to reach 1,000 lifetime winning drives. His year has also been underscored by major stakes victories for the Burke outfit with Free For All pacer Foiled Again in the Battle Of Lake Erie and the Rick Kane Memorial. He was named the sport's 2007 Rising Star.
 
"I'm committed to staying here for sure until Dec. 1 and maybe right through until next spring" Matt says. "For trainers like Vito Fuoco and Mike Deters to use me as soon as I arrived here is something I'm very thankful for. Now the challenge will just be to keep working hard and driving as well as possible every chance I get." (Pompano Park)
