Mongolian Hero sizzles at Ascot
The Paul Court trained Mongolian Hero sizzled around Ascot Park Raceway today to win the Diamond Creek Farm 2yo Classic.
Run in a new track record time of 2.43.8 for 2200m, backers of Mongolian Hero were treated to a wonderful Blair Orange drive.
Dragged back off the gate, Orange positioned the Mach Three colt, before making his bid with 1200m to run to sit parked.
When northerner The Lone Ranger galloped, Blair was able to slot straight into the trail behind Serengeti, before sneaking up the passing lane to win by a neck to Serengeti, with 1 ¼ L Bettor To Be Tricky home in 3rd
Overall Time: 2.43.8
Last Mile: 1.59.9
800m: 60.3
400m: 29.8
TAB Odds $2.80 – $1.20
Bred by G F Timperley and owned by the Inner Mongolian Rider Horse Industry (NZ) who look to have found another handy 2yo.
Mongolian Hero currently sits 3rd on the Harness Jewels leader-board.
