DAYTON, OH. – Martz Time ended his 2016 harness racing season with a bang Monday afternoon (December 26) at Hollywood Dayton Raceway.
Stepping back into open company following a conditioned win two weeks ago, the ultra-consistent 7-year-old gelded son of Primetime Ranger won for the seventh time this year, matching his 2015 figure and inching past his year-ago earnings.
Martz Time's current season bankroll ends at $95,435, topping last year's earnings by just over $1000.
In his career, Martz Time has won 35 times and earned $426,016.
Driver Kayne Kauffman took no prisoners, motoring directly to the front and posting front-stepping fractions of :28, :58.4 and 1:27.2 on his way to the 1:56.2 score. Walter Haynes Jr. trains the winner for owners John McGill and Brian Carsey.
Hollywood Dayton is in its final week of racing until next Fall. The five-eighths mile oval finishes its third campaign with a 2:00 matinee on Tuesday afternoon and nighttime cards at 6:15 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
