About
Delightful Journey is a 9yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Christine Sexton in Sale. He is by Delightful Choice out of Ultimate Journey and has secured seven victories to date. His most notable triumph came on 26 Mar 2023 at Bairnsdale, where he won the $70,000 Bairnsdale Cup. Over his career he has been a lucrative prospect for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 90% ROI.
