The final race of the night, and indeed Waldron's final race of the 2024 season, proved to be a triumphant one. In the bike of Marys Magic, Waldron showcased his driving skills in a Trot Class event. The pair delivered a strong performance, crossing the line first with a winning time of 1:56&4.
This victory marked a fitting end to a successful year for Waldron, who has consistently demonstrated his talent and competitiveness on the US harness racing circuit. His ability to compete at a high level and secure wins against strong opposition highlights his growing reputation in the sport.
As Waldron reflects on his 2024 campaign, this final victory at Hawthorne will undoubtedly be a highlight. He will now enjoy a well-deserved break before returning to action in the New Year, eager to build on his successes and continue his pursuit of victory in 2025.
