Only three were catalogued and only two sold with Joy Rider fetching the highest price at the 2022 Standardbred Horse Sale at Harrisburg, Pa. The sale contained more than 900 yearlings representing all states and a coliseum full of buyers in the Standardbred industry.
The Swan for All filly Joy Rider is coming back to Indiana with Wrenn Racing. The filly was purchased out of the Harrisburg sale for $65,000.
