He rode for some of the foremost trainers in England and Ireland, but his biggest win came as a late replacement. Highland Wedding had contested for the win at The Grand National Steeplechase in 1966 and 1967 but had lost his regular jockey for 1969 due to a broken elbow. Harty took the ride on the twelve-year-old, hit the front halfway round the second circuit and romped clear to win by twelve lengths.
