About
Duck For Cover is a 7yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Anthony Mountney at Kembla Grange. His sire is The Mission and his dam is Twice Around. To date he has recorded a single win. His biggest achievement arrived on 24 February 2026 at Kembla Grange, when he captured the $60,000 Super Maiden Plate. He has proved to be a profitable runner for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 100% return on investment.
