MONTY BATTLES ON TO WIN FINAL
LONGWOOD MONTY A REAL FAVOURITE AMONG THE STAFF AND MANY OF THE OWNERS AT VILLAGE FARM GOT UP CLOSE HOME TO NICK THE OWNERS BONUS SERIES FINAL AT MONMORE YESTERDAY. OVERCOMING PLENTY OF PROBLEMS AND INTERFERENCE AT THE FIRST BEND MONTY STEERED A MIDDLE COURSE DOWN THE BACKSTRAIGHT AND CAME UNDERNEATH DOGS ON THE RAILS TO OBTAIN A CHALLENGING POSITION OFF THE LAST. TRACKING BEAUTIFULLY HE THEN SWITCHED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRACK TO AVOID TROUBLE AND POWERED HOME TO GRAB LONG TIME LEADER CHOICE OF CHAMP IN THE SHADOW OF THE POST!
VICTORY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR THE BIG FELLA AFTER A GRACILLUS INJURY THREATENED TO END HIS CAREER SOMEWHAT PREMATURELY. ALL CREDIT TO LIZ AND THE REST OF MY STAFF THEY WORKED TIRELESSLEY WITH MONTY TO ACHIEVE FITNESS AND RACING CONDITION. WELL DONE TEAM !!
