UPDATES – Trois Trois Quatre
December 24th, 2022
Raced over 2400m at Turffontein on the Standside course. Finished 5th out of 7 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: I feel it was too far for him. Mike has asked me to send him to the farm for a spell as he is better than what he is showing. He may need to mature.
December 6th, 2022
Raced over 1600m at Turffontein on the Standside course. Finished 4th out of 11 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He missed the start and was too far back.
November 22nd, 2022
Raced over 1600m at Turffontein on the Inside course. Finished 3rd out of 10 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: He came from too far back and went for his run between the horses, rather than coming out for a run as he could have. I felt that affected his chance of finishing closer.
