Trustworthy Kid got his second straight 'lightning lane' win when he captured Tuesday’s $18,000 Preferred Handicap Trot at The Meadows.
Big And Little cut out a swift three-quarters in 1:24.4 that left him vulnerable to the two-pronged attack of Trustworthy Kid inside and Tamarind outside. Trustworthy Kid edged Tamarind by a neck in 1:53.1 while Big And Little saved show.
Brian Zendt drove the five-year-old SJs Caviar-Penn Worthy Lane gelding, who now boasts $219,436 in career earnings, for trainer Walter ‘Boots’ Dunn and owner Dunn Stable.
It was one of five wins on the 15-race card for Zendt, including a pair with full brothers Hickory Big Red and Hickory Little Red, both trained by Phillip Zendt for William Gilliland. Dave Palone fashioned a triple.
Wednesday’s program at The Meadows features the $93,860 Currier And Ives for three-year-old filly trotters headlined by juvenile champion Shake It Cerry, who has won both her 2013 starts. She goes from Post 6 in the first division, Race 1, with Ron Pierce driving for trainer Jimmy Takter. Post time is 12:55 p.m.
