Dr. Mitchell Downey had to pinch himself when he was able to obtain regally-bred stakes-winning pacer Blood Money from the Standardbred Horse Sales Company s 2020 Mixed Sale.
When it came time to review the catalogue, he turned the page down on Blood Money but he didn t think he would actually get to own him. I really had my heart set on bidding on a horse later in the sale (than Blood Money). explained Dr. Downey. Turned out that horse ended up being out of the sale .
Having bid on two other horses prior to Blood Money entering the sales ring, he really thought the horse would go for more than his $32,000 sale price.
The 2021 Maritime Stakes schedule was released Thursday (Feb. 4), with several new features added.
Firstly, Canada’s oldest harness racing stakes program, the PEI Colt Stakes, will have an additional profile in recognition of its 87th year of competition. Each division of two- and three-year-old pacing colts and fillies, and trotting two- and three-year-olds (split by sex if necessary) will compete in two legs with a Gold and Grassroots component based upon money earnings at time of the event. For 2021 and subsequent years, there is no final in any division, with the purse allotment usually paid out in the finals added to the purses for each leg.
