Freehold, NJ — Freehold Raceway hosted the $50,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes Standardbred Development Fund final for 3-year-old pacing colts on Saturday (Sept. 16).

Every Way Out took the lead from post position No. 2 going into the first turn. Victor Kirby put him on the front avoiding a breaking Firefox Hanover which caused some commotion and scattered the field. Every Way Out crossed the wire to stop the clock in 1:54.2. Sir Pugsley followed him every step of the way to finish second.

The son of If I Can Dream out of Every Play grabbed win number five out of eight starts this year. The Dylan Davis trainee surpassed $300,000 in lifetime earnings with this win.
