Downbytheseaside caused a splash as one of the best 2-year-olds in his class.  He equaled the world record (1:49) for freshman pacing colts during his International Stallion Stake division at The Red Mile and broke the world record (1:50) for his age/sex on a half-mile track when racing at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Downbytheseaside ended his initial campaign with a dominating win in the $520,000 Governors Cup at Woodbine Racetrack.

Downbytheseaside continued to perform as a 3-year-old, ending up in the winner’s circle in both the $500,000 Messenger Stakes and $300,000 Art Rooney at Yonkers Raceway, and posting an impressive track-record setting 1:49 3/5 victory in the $300,000 Carl Milstein Memorial over Fear The Dragon at Northfield Park. Downbytheseaside rebounded from a tough runner-up finish in the Breeders Crown with a win the $245,000 Monument Circle at Hoosier Park, setting a new lifetime mark of 1:48 3/5, and then followed up that win with victories in the Matron and Hap Hansen Progress Pace elimination and final. 

With full books his first 2 years at stud, we look forward to seeing his first yearlings at sale in 2020.

Downbytheseaside stands at Sugar Valley Farm in Ohio.  Diamond Creek will be handling contracts and bookings.
