After standing his first season at stud in Indiana, speedy trotter Play Trix On Me has a new jurisdiction for 2023.
A multiple stakes winning grandson of Muscle Hill, Play Trix On Me 4,1:50.4 ($676,433), will stand the 2023 season at Cool Winds Farm in Lima, Ohio for a stud fee of $3,000.
A Grand Circuit performing son of Hambletonian winner Trixton, the now five-year-old Play Trix On Me raced against, and defeated, some of the best stakes colts in his division at two and three. The strikingly tall and handsome individual continued to enjoy success at age four, competing alongside some of the best older trotters of his generation.
As a freshman trotter, Play Trix On Me opened his career by winning both legs and the $160,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes final at The Meadowlands. In fact, Play Trix On Me was victorious in five of six starts at two, earning $122,100 and taking a mark of 1:53.2 in a qualifier at The Red Mile.
At three, Play Trix On Me was, once again, the dominant horse in the New Jersey Sire Stakes program, winning the $128,000 final at The Meadowlands in 1:53.3. Shifting over to the Grand Circuit, he finished second in the $560,000 Canadian Trotting Classic at Mohawk, as well as the W.N. Reynolds Stake and the Tompkins-Geers S. at the Meadowlands.
Later in the season Play Trix On Me truly excelled in the $500,000 Breeders Crown three-year-old colt trot final at Hoosier Park, leaving from post four and setting an opening panel of :27.1. When the outer flow materialized he was shuffled back to fifth, but rallied again and found racing room in mid-stretch and flew home to be second to Amigo Volo by a short nose in 1:53, last quarter in :27.2.
The following week Play Trix On Me remained at Hoosier Park to capture the $140,000 Carl Erskine Memorial in 1:53, defeating World Champion Its Academic by a length and a quarter in the process. He completed his sophomore season with $469,759 in earnings, having finished first or second in 11 of 15 starts.
At age four, Play Trix On Me took his record of 1:50.4 at the Meadowlands racing against many of the top trotters of the day. He picked up cheques in three legs and the $250,000 final of the tough Graduate series, earning $84,574 on the season and was seven times 1-2-3 in 17 starts. His lifetime summary is 38-12-9-2.
From the stakes winning Credit Winner mare Lima Playmate 2,1:57 ($265,755), he is full or half-brother to several stakes winners and fast-class performers.
Play Trix On Me will stand in Ohio for the 2023 season for a stud fee of $3,000, with multiple mare discounts available. For more information, contact Kim and Randy Haines of Cool Winds Farm at 419-227-2665, or 419-234-6772.
