Bermudian harness pony racing driver Kiwon Waldron brought pride back home to Bermuda after a standout performance at Harrah’s Hoosier Park in Indiana. The 18‑year‑old driver guided his pacer, Chantilly Russ, to a hard‑fought victory in Race 11, earning a prize purse and a triumphant return to the starting gate.

Earlier that evening, Waldron took the helm of Winning Vibes in Race 2, a Trot Class event. He steered the pony to a respectable fourth‑place finish, clocking 1:57.2 and demonstrating the consistency that has earned him a reputation as one of the country’s most promising talent.

Waldron’s success is a testament to the growing strength of Bermudian harness racing. The driver, who has trained with several top U.S. trainers, cited the support of his local racing community and his relentless work ethic as key factors in his achievements.

The win in Indiana is poised to raise Waldron’s profile on the international circuit, potentially opening doors for future starts in major U.S. races. For now, the driver’s home‑grown fans in Hamilton celebrate his accomplishments, and the Bermuda Observer will continue to track his progress as he carries the island’s colors across the track.

"It’s a proud moment for Bermuda," Waldron told reporters, "and I’m excited to keep pushing forward."
