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 Meadowlands has scheduled the legs of the popular Kindergarten Series for trotting and pacing two-year-olds where it is hoped they will best serve those nominating horses for 2021.
The Kindergarten was designed to assure a place to start on a big track against other two-year-olds when needed as well as a place for the late-blooming freshmen. The four preliminary leg purses remain at the guaranteed $20,000 level.
The legs will be raced with all divisions scheduled for the same date, all at The Meadowlands and have been placed as follows:
Leg No. 1 on Friday, July 23, serving as a prep for the Peter Haughton and Jim Doherty Memorials, which have their elimination the following Friday as well as a start over the mile track for pacers who may be on the way to The Red Mile for Kentucky Sires Stakes
