..... at 25 / 1??? Am I reading that right? What a good boy! ![]() edit - Sporting Life... MONK LANDS GOLDEN PRIZE By Martin Kelly, PA Sport Monkerhostin sprang a 25-1 surprise for trainer Philip Hobbs and Richard Johnson in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. Leading at the final fence, the 11-year-old galloped on resolutely up the hill to beat Royal Auclair (14-1), trained by Paul Nicholls. Royal Auclair, runner-up in 2004, finished one place ahead of his stablemate Hoo La Baloo (9-1), who narrowly edged last week's Scottish National hero Iris De Balme, the 9-2 favourite, for third. |
