Bruce Ranger captures 10,000th career win

When Bruce Ranger went gate-to-wire with HS Shauna in the sixth race at Plainridge Park on Tuesday (May 9), he became only the 19th driver in the history of harness racing to reach the 10,000 win plateau. The milestone victory came as Ranger’s third of four on the afternoon.

A native of Portland, Maine, the 63-year-old Ranger started his driving career in 1979 at the Skowhegan Fair, where he scored his first victory. From there, his career path went through Massachusetts — at both Foxboro and Plainridge Park — as well as Florida, where he was a legendary star and the all-time dash win leader at Pompano Park.
