Clayton Douglas | Clayton Douglas News 61891 Wealthy Breaks Through With Impressive Maiden Win At Mornington

Wealthy claimed her maiden victory in style at Mornington today, producing a strong front-running performance to take out the $27,000 3YO Maiden Set Weights over 1200m. Rated perfectly by jockey Daniel Moor, the promising Rich Enuff filly held off all challengers to defeat Tuscaloosa Gem, scoring at just her second career start.

“I think she’s got nice potential this filly, I think she’s going to be alright in time…and a bit more cut in the ground should really suit her as well” said Clayton Douglas.

“She’s a lovely style of filly, I think she’s got a nice future ahead of her. I don’t think the blinkers are probably going to be her trick forever, I think they can come back off, but it’s good to get the win second up for her.”

The win also carried a lucrative VOBIS Silver Owner Bonus, boosting Wealthy’s earnings to over $38,000 from only two starts — an impressive return early in her career.

By Rich Enuff, a Group 2-winning son of Written Tycoon, Wealthy boasts a quality pedigree. Her dam, Momma’s Snitzel, adds further depth to her bloodlines as a daughter of the outstanding sire Snitzel.

Adding further prestige, Wealthy races in the iconic silks of Barrie and Midge Griffiths — legendary stable and industry supporters known for their sharp eye for elite fillies and mares. Their colours have been carried by some of Australia’s finest Group 1 winners, including Mannerism, Tawrrific, Northwood Plume, Response, and Booker.

With her impressive Mornington performance and strong pedigree, Wealthy looks to have a bright future ahead.

Congratulations to everyone involved.
