Career development: Boyd hopes for more success with NJSDF trio at Meadowlands

At 0h05, on November 21, 2025 • By Ken Weingartner, USTA Media Relations Manager

Braxten Boyd, who has already set a career high for purses this season and is approaching his best for wins, will look to remain on a roll when he drives in three of the four New Jersey Standardbred Development Fund finals for 2-year-old trotters and pacers Saturday (Nov. 22) at the Meadowlands.

Boyd will sit behind trotting colt American Power (5-2 on the morning line) for trainer Marcus Melander and pacing filly Wave Dancer (9-2) for Linda Toscano in two of the night’s three $60,000 NJSDF finals. He also will drive Everlast Sting Deo for Travis Alexander in the $48,000 final for male pacers that will go as a non-wagering event prior to the 14-race pari-mutuel card.
