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.

Stuart Gower will remain in Adelaide as Mongolian Marshal struts his stuff at Sandown
Adelaide-based Stuart Gower has sent his promising middle-distance galloper Mongolian Marshal to Melbourne for a race at Sandown but is reluctant to follow suit.
Gower fears he will be forced to undergo a 14-day quarantine when he returns home if he came to Melbourne to saddle Mongolian Marshal in the Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Handicap (1800m) on Saturday.
Instead, he will entrust the Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra stable to saddle the gelding on Saturday, just as they did when the gelding won the Kyneton Cup last November.
