​Mumbles always showed he had a bit of talent when he was a young horse. However, there was always a reason as to why he just couldn’t put it all together. Whether it be that he was unlucky in running, he over raced, the track was too wet etc. But the penny appears to have finally dropped after his 3 month spell.
When resuming at Bendigo, James Winks delivered a ride that took all bad luck out of the equation.
All the hype was for Black Caviars son, who was returning from a lengthy spell and sent out odds on favourite.
Winks stalked Prince of Caviar as soon as the barriers opened. He moved to his outside in the home straight, mowing him down to win by a length and three quarters.
Congratulations to his owners and hopefully there is a successful preparation ahead.
