Delmonico is back in the winning groove today at Riccarton Park Racecourse courtesy of an excellent rails ride from new stable apprentice Sima Mxothwa 💚

He came into today’s race off the back of some very

Congratulations to his owners Andari Ltd & breeders Grassyards Farms Ltd. He’s now had 6 wins and brings his prize money up to over $130k. 👏🏻
