Milochello Winning at Hobart

Milochello had the unenviable record of six placings from his last seven starts before winning at Hobart three weeks ago.

"That was the win he needed to have", joked Clifford who was confident Milochello would gain a lot of confidence from the win.

It certainly was the case, scoring by five lengths on Sunday at Hobart against a strong field which included another of Clifford's up and coming horses Copper Rocks.

"I couldn't have been happier for the horse and the owners, they have been waiting patiently for Milo to show what he did today", said Clifford.

A wet track specialist like his older brother Matinello, he swam through the heavy inside course at Hobart and relished the 1400m trip.

"I will see how he pulls up and look for a similar race, but the sky is the limit, especially while the tracks stay soft".
