Bermudian harness racing driver Kiwon Waldron had a busy morning of qualifying races at Harrah's Hoosier Park in Indiana, participating in five events across both the Trot and Pace disciplines. These early qualifying races are a crucial step for horses aiming to compete in future pari-mutuel contests.
Waldron's day began in Race 3, a qualifier in the Trot Class. He was in the sulky behind Enchanted Mission, guiding the horse to a sixth-place finish with a time of 1 minute, 58 and two-fifths of a second (1:58.2).
He then moved to the Pace Class for Race 5, partnering with Midnite's Pro. The duo finished in fifth place, clocking an identical time of 1 minute, 58 and two-fifths of a second (1:58.2).
Waldron's third drive came in Race 6, another Pace Class qualifier, this time with Reign Of Midnight. They finished further back in ninth place with a time of 2 minutes and three-fifths of a second (2:00.3).
Returning to the Pace Class for Race 11, Waldron was in the bike of Bunkerhill Lil. They crossed the finish line in seventh place with a time of 1 minute and 59 flat (1:59.0).
His final qualifying drive of the morning came in Race 13, another Pace Class event, where Waldron partnered with Firing Onall Fours. They finished in eighth place with a time of 1 minute, 56 and three-fifths of a second (1:56.3).
Participating in five qualifying races in a single morning demonstrates Waldron's continued dedication to preparing horses for competitive racing at Harrah's Hoosier Park across both gaits. The experience gained and the times recorded will be valuable for the horses as they progress towards potential starts in future race meets.
