Not only did the Cowra trainer take out the final at the Dubbo track, Braddon combined with wife and fellow trainer Pam to win four races on the night.
It came after the pair won four of the 11 races at the prior Dawson Park meeting as well.
Flaming Fury took out the Ladbrokes Protest Payout Final (318m), backing up last week's heat win with a commanding showing from box five on Sunday.
Flaming Fury was a $6 chance in the final, while kennelmate Arrie A Blaze jumped the $4.70 favourite.
But Arrie A Blaze never got going from box two while Flaming Fury flew clear early and never looked trouble in a five-and-a-quarter length win.
The Graham Novley-trained Defier ($7) was the best of the rest while Ronald Steel's Duncan Cargo ($17.10) was a further three-and-a-quarter lengths back in third.
It continued a hugely promising start to Flaming Fury's career, with six wins and four placings now recorded from 11 career starts.

Paul Braddon also saluted with Rich History and Willow Secret on the night.
Rich History ($3) made it six wins from eight starts when taking out the Choice Flooring Dubbo Stakes (318m) while Willow Secret ($2.60) secured win number two from start number three when scoring victory in the Ladbrokes Cash Out Stakes (318m).
Pamela Braddon won with Meeka's Girl ($2.70) to complete the night for the Cowra couple.
Meeka's Girl won the Ladbrokes Daily Video Stakes (400m) to take her record to 18 wins from 48 starts.
While the Braddons had plenty of luck, arguably the luckiest of all people involved on Friday night were Tamworth trainer Mark Craig and racecaller Dan Russ.
The pair, and Craig's dogs, were heading north back home only to have the vehicle they traveling in be swept off the road following heavy rain at Spring Ridge.
The pair and the dogs were trapped, but local Ambulance Paramedic, Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA), State Emergency Service and Police Rescue Swift Water Rescue Technician responded and assisted freeing them and the dogs.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was also on hand and the medical team checked over Craig and Russ before giving them the all clear.
Russ is expected back in the box for Dawson Park's next meeting this Friday night.
