Hardman, who has had so much recent success with Nangar Rust, Nangar Blaze and Nangar Kash, said: "Recently a fellow contacted me and asked me to train an unraced dog which had shown good form while being educated.
"I began trialling that greyhound and last week the same chap told me he had purchased Zipping Bram from Marty Hallinan and wanted me to take him too.
"Marty said Zipping Bram is capable of sensation times in trials but was perfectly suited from box eight when he won last Monday.''
