About
The Deputy is a 6yo chestnut gelding trained by Dale Groves. He is by Nicconi out of Enchanting Beauty. To date he has won 5 races. On 14th Sep 2022 at Sandown Hillside he claimed his biggest victory, taking the $55,000 3‑y‑o C&G Maiden Plate. Punters have found him to be a profitable runner; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 9% return on investment.
