Woodbine Mohawk Park will host their race in honour of the Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society’s 25th anniversary on Saturday (Oct. 23) and one of the starters in the race is closely related to a horse who found a loving home through OSAS earlier this year.

Mohawk’s OSAS race is number six on the card, a $30,000 pace with six talented starters. So Much More, one of two females in the contest, is the richest of the half dozen with more than $750,000 earned to date. She is owned by trainer Don Beatson as well as Kenn Beatson and Cole England and will be driven by James MacDonald.

The five-year-old daughter of Big Jim is from the Real Artist mare Ladysai whose dam is Start Dialing, the third dam of Kwik Mac, a nine-year-old gelding who went through the OSAS program a few months ago and is now living his best life with his adopter Beth Mackin. Not only did Beth adopt Kwik Mac, she also gave his pasture buddy Howdy Partner a new home.
