Our home track of Monmore Green put a thrilling Bags Championship Grand Final on Friday afternoon when Pots And Pans sealed the fifth of the six legs, for pups, to seal the Championship for Monmore. After scoring steadily throughout, finishing no worse than third throughout, that combination was enough to allow Monmore an unassailable advantage.
Kim Billingham, our team captain, accepted the extraordinarily large winning cup. Jim Woods, Racing Manager, said total team prizes of £9,000[£6,000 as champs, and £3,000 from the regional stage] would be equally divided among all 12 Monmore trainers. Monmore also get £12,500 to add to Bags prize-money next month.
Pots And Pans had to battle to see off a pacey Judys Bloom, and then held a running on Bonamassa Buddy by nearly two lengths in 28.70. Pots and Pans is owned by loyal owner Paul Scott. The event proved more nerve-wracking that a Category One, it’s been a fantastic year for us all, now for the track too.
Final scores Monmore 42, Hall Green 37, Romford 27, Hove 24 (fourth on wins count-back), Belle Vue 24, Newcastle 13
