The five-year-old has been a source of much frustration for the Friedliebs and his trainers but connections enjoyed some success at Murrumbidgee Turf Club.
Griddlebone ($4.60) showed plenty of fighting spirit to kick back and defeat Bravado Lass by a short neck in the Crichton Cup Benchmark 58 Handicap (1800m).
“He’s very erratic,” Friedlieb said.
“You never know what he’s going to do next. The hardest thing is getting him on the track.”
Griddlebone is trained by Donna Grisedale at Kembla Grange and is the first horse she has trained for the Friedliebs.
The son of So You Think was given every chance by apprentice jockey Blake Ryan.
It was Griddlebone’s first win since March and took his record to three wins and more than $70,000 in earnings from 21 starts.
