Two runners, two seconds
Our two runners over the last three days have both finished 2nd which is encouraging as both are at the improving stage of their preparations.
On Sunday, Mt Difficulty, who has been desperate to get on a better track, settled midfield and unwound strongly to run 2nd in a very fast 3yo 1200 metres, which was run in 1.08.54. After a good debut 3rd, he struck two heavy 11 tracks which did not suit and the jockey lost his irons in his only other start, so his form was misleading and his starting price of $17.50 was well over the odds. He is likely to next start at Timaru on the 25th of November or Cromwell on the 27th of November.
On Melbourne Cup Day Stopover was a certainty beaten 2nd up over 1400 metres at Wingatui. He was trapped on the rail and only got out very late to dash into 2nd place. He is a horse with ability and we believe he has a very good future. He is likely to race next over either 1400 or 1600 metres, exactly where we will work out in the next few days.
