Ronaldo mighty at Menangle

Star West Australian pacer Mighty Ronaldo kicked off his eastern harness racing campaign at Menangle on the right note.

The $351,196 earner had his first look at the spacious track in a trial on Wednesday that the son of Alta Christiano won in personal best time.

The Justin Prentice-prepared pacer clocked a mile rate in 1:51.7 seconds, more than two seconds faster than his best winning time.

The four-year-old gelding is being aimed at the $210,000 Australian Pacing Gold Final at Menangle on May 7.

Mighty Ronaldo won his APG heat at Gloucester Park on April 5 and has not raced since.

During his Sydney stay Might Ronaldo will be stabled at Luke McCarthy’s property.

“He’s eating well and seems well in himself,” said Prentice.
