Took a trip up to Monmore to hopefully shout on Superstar Lily ( Megan ) in her heat of the stayers comp in the Monmore Spring Festival. Unfortunately although she led until coming round the 5th bend she was collared by Fatboyz Eagle and the fav Westmead Bolt. She was beat 3 1/2 l but the track was running pretty slow (-20).
A solid run from the lass and I believe Kevin will now enter her for the Regency at Hove in late April. She runs Hove really well and has already recorded the fastest time of the year there ( 41.36 ) already.
Mercurial Star was called up as a late reserve in the Dogs Standard comp but his trapping let him down and he finished a well beat 5th.
The outstanding dog of the day was Diane Henry's Honey Trampas in the 1st Heat of the stayers Comp. He flew the lids and led all the way to record an 8 l win in an amazing 37.80 (calc) He must win the Final surely.
A good day out and the facilities at Monmore are 1st class, but for me it lacks that friendly atmosphere you get at Swindon. What the stadium lacks in facilities it certainly makes up for it in the "craic " stakes.
Saying that Monmore well worth a visit even if they did run out of the faggotts and peas early doors.
