Kid provides heavenly win in honor of Boots

Never in the history of harness racing has the phrase “coming from the clouds” been more appropriate than when applied to the last-to-first victory by Trustworthy Kid in Wednesday (Feb. 3’s) $22,500 preferred handicap trot at The Meadows – the last victory of a storied career for legendary horseman Walter “Boots” Dunn, who had passed away that morning.

Driver Brian Zendt had the entire field in front of him at the five-eighths pole, but he rallied “The Kid” five-wide off the final turn, charging furiously to the finish to win by a length in 1:55.4 for Boots’ Dunn Stable.
