Bio
Domestic Spending opened his career with back-to-back victories in one-mile turf races, the first in February 2020 at Tampa Bay Downs and the second in June at Belmont Park. From there, the Kingman gelding was tested against stakes competition and finished third in the Grade 2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes July 18 at Saratoga.
Domestic Spending earned the first stakes win of his career in his next race when he edged Gufo by a head to win the $500,000 Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes Aug. 15 at Saratoga.

Given a 3 ½-month freshening, Domestic Spending was shipped to Del Mar for the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby. He took command in the closing strides from runner-up Smooth Like Strait and again held off the late rush of Gufo, the third-place finisher, to prevail and earn a Grade 1 win.
Domestic Spending made his 2021 debut in the $1 million, Grade 1 Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic Stakes. He angled out for running room in deep stretch, and drew even with heavily favored Colonel Liam in the closing strides to finish in a dead heat for first in a thrilling race. He continued his winning ways in the Grade 1 Resorts World Casino Manhattan Stakes at Belmont Park on June 5, catching his pace-setting stablemate Tribhuvan in the last few strides.
