Trois Trois Quatre does it for Hollywood

RECORDS are made to be broken but former champion jockey Anthony Delpech would have thought that his record of 334 winners in a season was fairly safe. Richard Fourie put paid to that last season but the aptly named Trois Trois Quatre will have been in the forefront of his mind at Hollywoodbets Scottsville yesterday.

Veale

French for 334, Sean Veale rode a confident race on the son of Rafeef, coming from off the pace to motor past the filly Plum Pudding in the Gallop TV Class 3 that headlined the meeting.

Often a tardy starter, Veale had his mount out in a flash and although at the back of the field for most of the race, the gelding quickened up smartly up the inside under minimum effort from Veale. “If I haven’t pulled my stick at the 200 you know that I have plenty of horse under me,” quipped the rider, always good for a quote or three.

It was Hollywood Racing’s 693rd winner since registering their colours.
