A mile first up is usually a big challenge for any horse, but tonight was the perfect occasion for Lika Wreckin’ Ball to make his long-awaited debut with an immediate maiden victory in the Bold Design Kitchens Maiden Plate.
Given plenty of time to settle by Robbie Dolan, the flashy Trapeze Artist gelding turned into the long Sunshine Coast last but charged through the field of 7 to win convincingly, looking every bit of a promising stayer for the future. “The Big Orange” has made his owners be very patient as this fellow grew into his huge body to become a racehorse, but he has always had the raw ability to run, and now looks to be on his way.
Congratulations to the team who have all done a wonderful job!
