Stonebridge Kisses could become harness racing’s next millionairess in the $42,000 featured mare pace on Friday night at the Meadowlands.
The 8-year-old daughter of Artiscape has earnings of $985,393 entering Friday night’s 10th race. Although she has been a formidable competitor in both stakes and open company, the toughest test she faced was recovering from a racing accident at age six. Stonebridge Kisses fell during a Cape & Cutter Series division on Feb. 17, 2006 and gashed herself on her race bike. It took two surgeries by renowned veterinarian Dr. Patty Hogan of the New Jersey Equine Clinic in Clarksburg to repair the wounds. The gutsy mare returned six months later and has since earned $400,000. She is trained by Mark Ford and owned by Martin Scharf. (Meadowlands)
