Pacing Legend Village Kid Dies
24/04/2012 , 3:51 PM by Nadia Mitsopoulos
Pacing legend Village Kid died this morning at the Hope Valley
property of his owner and trainer, Bill Horn.
The horse was 32.
Bill, along with Gordon and Cecilia Cox, bought Village Kid from
New Zealand 28 years ago and turned him into one of the
country’s greatest ever pacers.
In a 160 start career he won 93 races including the 1986
Brisbane Inter Dominion Championship, four WA Pacing Cups and
two Miracle Miles in Sydney.
Village Kid earned prize money totalling $2.1 million.
Bill Horn shared his memories with Geoff Hutchison on Mornings.
Have a listen to Bill reflect on the life of the sporting great
and relive Village Kid winning the 1987 Miracle Mile.
Bill Horn
