Gold Energy finished strongly after settling toward the rear of the field to win the fifth at Morphetville over 1200 metres yesterday. Jockey, Adrian Patterson, rated the gelding well. Bondarchuk threatened for the duration of the straight, however Gold Energy dug deep and was strong on the line to win by ¾ of a length.
“He is a different horse since we took him to the bull ring”, explains Gold Energy’s trainer Ricky Maund. “He had another work out before this run”.
Gold Energy has won three races and has been placed twice in five of his last six starts since becoming aquainted with the bull ring. One of the placings included an unlucky second, after weaving through the field to be beaten in a photo by Reconcentrate at Morphettville over 1200 metres last weekend.
Yesterday’s win takes Gold Energy’s tally to five.
