Call to Arms gets his maiden win today after a very good ride despite traffic from stable apprentice Sima Mxothwa 🏆👏

A horse we have always held in high regard, he’s just taken a while to learn his trade. With a win on the board finally, he will take a lot of confidence from it going forward.

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
good synthetic runs, the residual fitness was there and he only had a feather weight to carry. All credit to Sima for the quick thinking ride to score by 2L.

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. 👏🏻
