Refreshed by a 31 second-quarter breather, Trustworthy Kid easily repelled his outside challengers and captured Saturday’s $18,000 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.

Trustworthy Kid had to work hard for the lead, but when Dave Palone threw on the brakes in the second panel, the eight-year-old SJs Caviar-Penn Worthy Lane gelding got the break he needed. He shrugged off the first-over challenge of Sixteen Mikes and scored in 1:56 over a “good” surface, finishing three-quarters of a length better than Valley Of Sin. TSM Photo Bugger was a ground-saving third.

Lisa Dunn owns and trains Trustworthy Kid, who now boasts $442,697 in career earnings.

Palone collected five wins on the 12-race card while trainer Paul Corey enjoyed a three-bagger.
