September 21st, 2026
Raced over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Finished 2nd out of 8 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He missed the break and ended up further back than he should have been. He ran on strongly to finish second. He is a nice horse and, when he steps up over further, he will be very competitive.
