Mt Difficulty broke through finally today for his maiden victory at the Omakau racecourse in Central Otago in the Maiden 1100m ridden by his biggest fan stable apprentice Izuan Khairil, rather apt considering he is named after a Central Otago wine.
Mt Difficulty(Ernie) has showed us in track work for quite some time that he truely has some ability, and his race race record holds at 9 career starts for 3 seconds 1 third 1 fourth and 2 fifths. Finishing behind some nice types in Aluminium Bike Rack, Kincaple Princess,Davinsky and Champagne Needed.
We hope his connections will all enjoy a drop or two of Mt Difficulty in their celebrations tonight.
Other runners were; Soldiers Tale who also put in a big run for second in the 0-1 win 1100 from a wide draw and carrying 4.5kg more weight than the claiming Wine and Soda. It was good to see him flatten out in his finish.
Waiting also drew very wide however had no luck in the running to get in and ran 8th, Seniorita Lopez was very disappointing in the Maiden 2000 finishing last however on pulling up and cooling out it was evident that she was heavily in season and will now not run on Sunday and return home, travel can often bring fillies into season and this seems to be the cause.
All horses are in the fields on Sunday for Cromwell racing and we will know more tomorrow which ones are likely to back up from today.
