With many top riders in this country deserving recognition for their talent and success, it was not easy making a selection this month with Anthony Delpech winning 13 races and three riders – Marcus, Sean Cormack and Keagan De Melo each scoring eight times.

However, just swinging the vote in his favour was Anton’s success at Scottsville on April 26 where he won three of the feature events -the Strelitzia Stakes, the Godolphin Barb Stakes and the Scarlet Lady – a performance worthy of this month’s award.

Well done Anton.
