Blood Money, undefeated since arriving in New Brunswick, will look to run his win streak to three on Saturday afternoon (May 22) at Exhibition Park Raceway.

Purchased last season by Dr. Mitchell Downey, the five-year-old pacer by Sweet Lou has been dominant in his first two outings so far. His first win came in the first card of the season, where he scored an easy victory in 1:59.

Last week, the speedy pacer was back in the winner's circle, cruising his last half in :58.1 and stopping the clock in 1:59.1. This week, he has been assigned the outside post five in the $1,600 featured pace, carded as race six.

Blood Money, who sports a lifetime mark of 1:50 taken over a five-eighths-mile track and has charted miles faster 1:50 in his career, has lifetime earnings just north of $430,000.

It appears his most serious threat comes in the form of Woodmere Ideal Art, who was second to Blood Money two weeks ago and will be looking a pose the looming threat to the win streak. Sifroi Melanson owns and trains Woodmere Ideal Art, a finalist in last year's Gold Cup and Saucer.

The race also includes seasonal record holder Little Manny, who turned in a gigantic performance last week as he cruised to a 1:58.4 victory for co-owner and driver Stephen Trites and co-owners Dean and Brad McLaughlin and Mark Taylor.

Meanwhile, the Autumn Gold Series, which was created and sponsored by Horse Racing New Brunswick, continues. Horses accumulate points per start this season at Exhibition Park Raceway, and the top point earnes get a chance at some lucrative purses later this season.

Saturday's race card gets underway at 1 p.m. Horseplayers can watch and wager off-track. For more information, visit the Horse Racing New Brunswick website.
