Delago Bolt Warms Up For Race Return

The likely strength of the Golden Rose field has swayed Gary Portelli to target the Up And Coming Stakes with Caulfield Guineas hopeful Delago Bolt.

The winner of the Black Opal Stakes in Canberra, Delago Bolt tuned up for his return in Saturday week’s Group Three sprint with a comfortable barrier trial win at Hawkesbury on Monday.

He will kick off his campaign in the Up And Coming (1200m) which is run one week before the $1 million Golden Rose.

Delago Bolt is out of Bardego, a three-quarter sister to Rockmount’s own Skye Gold (pictured), who is visiting Testa Rossa in her first season at stud.
