Art takes Weld’s tally to 17

Art takes Weld’s tally to 17

Unlucky in a conditions event on Tuesday and fourth to Banna Man when favourite for this event last year, Truckers Delight scored convincingly from Norther Bay, prompting his relieved trainer to declare: “Thank God for that, after the week we’ve had. We’ve been a bit unlucky a few times. But this fellow pulled it out of the fire for us.”

Truckers Delight was ridden with a mixture of patience and confidence by Conor O’Farrell, currently making a name for himself with David Pipe in England.
