Vander Velde Stirs Pacehorse Fame Across Midwest Circuits
Pete Vander Velde of Rock Valley is building a racing family legacy with pacers including Ralting Thunder Rolling Honey and Rolling Thunder offspring. His farm near Rock Valley hosts multiple colts while plans span Wilma Glenwood Sac City and Des Moines showings. Jeff Vander Velde, junior driver, eyes cross border racing as he assists and trains Rolling Clever in Canada. The Vandervelde name looks set to stay prominent in pacing contests for years.
