Kings County trots away from opponents

Dayton, Ohio – A full field of ten went behind the harness racing starting gate for the $25,000 Open Handicap Trot on Wednesday (Nov. 9) at Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway.

Although two-wide through the :27.3 opening quarter, Kings County gained control of the field without hesitation. Never looking back, Kings County posted the remaining fractions in :55.4 and 1:24.1 before stopping the clock in 1:53.1.

Lockbox (Tony Hall) was second with Rose Run Valor (Kayne Kauffman) finihsing third.

The victory marked the tenth seasonal win for Kings County. With lifetime earnings just south of $429,000, the horse has hit the board 19 of 30 starts this year. Stacey Van Huizen conditions Kings County for Thestable Kings County group.
