About
Dj Junior, an 8yo chestnut trained by Erico Verdonese, is by Diesel Jet out of Kasassi. The horse has secured three wins to date, including a standout victory on 22 Oct 2024 at Turffontein in the $105012.00 Hcp. Over its career it has been a profitable player for bettors; backing Dj Junior throughout would have yielded a 39% return on investment.
