It has been reported that a former $150,000 yearling purchase is the most recent trotting stallion to call Prince Edward Island home for the 2012 breeding season

.

According to an article by Nick Oakes in The Guardian, Meridian Farms plucked Neal, a four-year-old son of Credit Winner, for $30,000 from Tattersalls' recent January Select Mixed Sale at the Meadowlands (for more on the sale, click here).

From only 11 career races --- all of which came as a two-year-old --- Neal won four times, trotted to four second-place finishes, and also recorded a lone third-place effort. The Jim Campbell-trained bay took his mark of 1:54.4 while capturing a division of the Bluegrass Stakes at the Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky.

Oakes' column also states that pacing stud DM Dillinger has been sent back to his Sarnia, Ont.-based owners, and that stallion Allamerican Navajo has been sent to Ontario to be trained down by Don MacIsaac.
