The five-year-old grey gelding had been set for the trip to Albury after winning its last start at Moonee Valley and didn’t disappoint.
“He's a tough old bugger,” Archard said.
“This has been on our radar for about five months now.
“He can lead – he's usually pretty handy but he has lead a few times.
“He's a natural leader and grows a leg in the wet, so we're thrilled.
“We've been coming here for many years now, and being close to the Ledger family we’re very pleased.”
Archard had previously won the Adrian Ledger Memorial in 2012 with Warringah.
Jockey Mark Pegus rode the favourite to victory ahead of the David Hayes and Tom Dabernig trained Raindrops on Roses.
