Anthony Delpech

Anthony Delpech (born 10 February 1969 in the Seychelles ) is a thoroughbred horse racing jockey who competes internationally.

Life and career Delpech's family moved to Durban, South Africa when he was thirteen years old. There, he embarked on a career as a jockey. A three-time champion jockey, and the 1998, 2004, 2010 and 2011 winner of South Africa's premier race, the Durban July Handicap, he has ridden at the Champ de Mars Racecourse in Mauritius as well as the Singapore Racecourse in Kranji. In recent years he has met with considerable success at Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong, notably with Vengeance of Rain, on whom he won the 2005 Hong Kong Cup and the 2007 Dubai Sheema Classic at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse. Delpech held the record in South Africa for the most wins by a jockey in a season (334), which he set during the 1998/1999 racing season, until the record was surpassed by Richard Fourie in the 2023/24 season.

After a career-ending injury forced him to retire from the professional jockey ranks, Delpech has worked as a brand ambassador for Hollywoodbets, and racing manager for their Hollywood Syndicate.
