About

Diwali Rocket, a 5yo colt under the guidance of trainer Mano Pandaram, is by Ideal World out of Jet Trail. The horse has recorded two wins to date. Its biggest triumph came on 2 Nov 2024 at Turffontein in the $105,012.00 Handicap, where it secured the prize money. Punters have found the runner profitable; backing Diwali Rocket over its career would have yielded a 153% return on investment.
