Delightful Journey (AUS)
About
Delightful Journey, an 8yo chestnut gelding from Australia, is trained by Christine Sexton of Moe. He is by Delightful Choice out of Ultimate Journey. To date he has recorded seven victories. His biggest triumph came on 26 March 2023 at Bairnsdale, where he captured the $70,000 Open Handicap. Punters have found him to be a value pick; a full career backing would have yielded a 105% return on investment.
