At 0h56, on August 2, 2021 • By POCONO DOWNS

Mark Ford sent out the 4,000th winner of his training career when He’s Electric took a new mark of 1:51.3 in Sunday evening’s (Aug. 1) fourth race at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

The 50-year-old Ford ranks seventh in the USTA’s list of all-time winning conditioners, and his $66.6 million in earnings puts him in fifth.

A resident of Campbell Hall, N.Y., Mark serves dually as a USTA director from New York and as president of the SBOANJ.

Three races after the milestone victory, Ford was already on the road to 5,000 when his Motive Hanover came horse first; both were driven by Tyler Buter.
