About
Semper Fortis is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by James Ponsonby in Hawkesbury. He is by Tavistock out of Plaque. To date he has secured six victories, with his most notable win on 4 Mar 2022 at Moonee Valley, taking the $60000.00 Maiden Plate. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; a lifetime backing would have generated a 91% return on investment.
