BELECONI ‘TRAINS’ ON

Bel Esprit blogger, Brian Donohoe, has a good turn of phrase and happily reported that “the Bel Esprit trained rolled through Adelaide yesterday with Beleconi posting an exciting victory in the Reliance Petroleum Handicap at Morphettville”, although given the name of the race, we thought he might have added “with plenty left in the tank”.
Brian, as always, maintains the Bel Esprit Winners Club blog page with gusto and reveals that Beleconi – who has now won five of his 12 outings – also holds the class and weight carrying records for 1500m at Gawler.
Originally purchased and raced twice by Gai Waterhouse, Beleconi – out of the Diana Anceschi’s Snippets mare Bocconi – is now trained by Philip Stokes who has saddled up the 4YO for each of his wins.
