Downbytheseaside, the richest racehorse of 2017, is now booked full and closed for 2018.
"We are in the enviable position of being oversubscribed," says Sugar Valley's Joe McLead, "We are proud to be part of this horse and to have him here in Ohio."
World champion Downbytheseaside wrapped up his racing career with a win in the Hap Hansen Progress Pace, tying his lifetime mark of 1:48.3. He earned more than $2.2 million over his lifetime, and was the richest three-year-old pacer of 2017.
"The response for the horse has been outstanding, especially the support from the Ohio breeders," says Adam Bowden of Diamond Creek. "We are all very excited about the future."
Downbytheseaside will be standing his first season in 2018 at Sugar Valley Farm in partnership with Diamond Creek Farm.
