About
Amateur, a 13yo chestnut horse trained by J L Flint, contested the Chepstow R4 Stephens Industries EPDM Flat Roofing Handicap Chase (GBB Race). He is by Giant's Causeway out of Adja and has amassed six wins so far. On 29th Dec 2020 at Newbury he achieved his biggest triumph, winning the $17200.00 Mansionbet's Best Odds Guaranteed Mandarin Handicap Chase. The horse has been a profitable pick for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 36% return on investment.
