PREMIER Tasmanian reinsman Ricky Duggan has a lot of time for lightly raced three-year-old Mister Lennox and at Tattersall’s Park in Hobart tonight he delivered another knockout blow to his rivals in a C0 event over 2090m.
From a near outside starting position (6) Mister Lennox ($1.45 fav) landed in the one-out-one-back position on the back of Me Mate Les while the second favourite Stonor Rainbow made play in front.
The leader set a solid clip and when he kicked clear turning for home it looked for s fleeting moment that he might have the edge on the favourite but when Duggan called on Mister Lenox for the big effort 200 metres out he charged to the leader and went on to score comfortably from Stonor Rainbow with Butch and Clyde a distant third.
It was Mister Lennox’s fifth win from 11 starts and he looks set to expand on that record as the season progresses.
The gelding is trained by Juanita McKenzie and owned by Barry Cooper and his family including children Chris, Shane and Maree.
