Goulburn 350m July 14 2023 – Hardaway Ranger (19.87) T: Ronald Marsden
With the victory, he has now won five times from seven runs at the track and trip with the journey proving to be his specialty.
He recently trialled over the 320m trip at Richmond, clocking a quick 17.99 giving his trainer-owner Marsden food for thought moving forward with his dog.
He has shown the speed he has in his motor, having come within a whisker of cracking the 297m time record at Dapto in 2021.
Hardaway Ranger clocked 16.71 on that occasion with the record set by Typhoon Tim at 16.66 on May 27, 2021.
The Fernando Bale x My Lady dog has had 33 wins and 25 placings from 74 starts while banking $67,520 in prize money for connections.
