By Wes Mayberry

Bitcoin King added a second Buckeye Stallion Series victory to his 2026 ledger on Monday (June 15) as Northfield Park Racino hosted four $20,000 divisions of the third leg for sophomore colt trotters.

Driven by Dan Noble, Bitcoin King recorded the fastest mile of the four divisions, winning the second division in a lifetime mark of 1:54.4. A winner in the first leg of the BSS at Eldorado Scioto Downs in 1:55.4 on May 9, the Uncle Peter colt led gate to wire Monday and won by three-quarters of a length. Out Of Range (Kurt Sugg) was second followed by Jackie Jann (Wilbur Yoder) in third. Bitcoin King has three career wins and $94,738 in earnings. Trainer Chris Beaver owns the colt with Part Time Stable.

In the first division, Ready For Pictures (Chris Lems) came out on top by one and a half lengths, leading gate to wire and finishing in 1:57. The Ready For Moni gelding has hit the board in all five seasonal starts with three wins and has eight victories in 16 lifetime starts to go with $58,530 in earnings. He is trained by Tabatha DeLong and owned by Jesse DeLong. Okay One More (Noble) and Siggie (Trevor Smith) rounded out the top three.

Jogging Diamond (Sugg) won the third division by half a length in a lifetime-best 1:56.4. Unraced as a 2-year-old, the Full Count gelding has hit the board in three of seven seasonal starts with two wins and earnings of $19,870. He is trained by Miles Wollam, who co-owns the horse with Julie Ann Sweet and Kara Bansberg. Max The Mighty (Chris Page) was second followed by Moon Time Moni (Lems) in third.

Driven by owner and trainer Ronnie Gillespie, 61-1 longshot Peteza scored his second seasonal victory in four starts, taking the fourth division by one and a half lengths in 1:56.4. He rallied from fifth place at the three-quarter pole and paid $125.20 to win. The Uncle Peter gelding made just one start as a freshman and now has career earnings of $17,000. Mile Range (Sugg) and Lane Holding Court (Noble) — two winners from the second leg at Northfield on June 6 — rounded out the top three.

The Buckeye Stallion Series resumes on Sunday, June 21, with the third leg for sophomore filly pacers at Northfield Park Racino.
