Stuart Gower is considering the
Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes (2000m) on the final day of the Flemington Carnival as the next big target for
Mongolian Marshal.
The six-year-old gelding caused an upset with victory ($41) in the
Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday and Gower now is looking for more lucrative prizemoney in the $2 million weight-for-age event in November.
“He has a super record at a mile (1600m). He is better ridden cold and getting home, and I think he has a couple of good races in him yet. I can either set him for a mile race in the spring or have a crack at the Mackinnon Stakes. He goes well between 1600m and 2000m so we will see how he is going when he comes back from a freshen up,” Gower told Warren Huntly on RSN’s Correct Weight.
