Bravo Monsieur

Fri 08 Nov 2024

Winner 88 of 2024: MONSIEUR KODI, trained by Richard Fahey and ridden by Jack Garrity. ‘Betfair Exchange Handicap’ over 6f at Chelmsford.

After a few luckless runs during the summer, where either the ground or the draw was against our loyal servant Monsieur Kodi, he was back in the winner's enclosure at Chelmsford. A great ride from Jack Garrity, who was tracking the leader, and besides being carried very wide when turning for home, was very game in the closing stages and stayed on strongest when under pressure, to win comfortably.

Timeform rated his victory with a p86: "Has been knocking on the door for a while and made the most of a good opportunity in a much less competitive race than he tends to contest; chased leader, pushed along under 3f out, carried right home turn, led over 1f out, kept up to work; a token rise in the weights won't prevent him being of interest again."

A delighted syndicate manager Tom Palin said after the race: "What a brilliant victory from your horse. His 7th overall. What an incredible horse he has been over the years. Well done to everyone who kept the faith in him and what a luckless summer, in terms of the draw or the weather, it has been. We knew prior to the race, that he was getting dangerously well handicapped, and he was very much seen to best effect there this evening. I thought Jack gave him a great ride and after a good break, he was able to sit behind the leader, which means he got a lovely toe into the race, and we were left in the position to take advantage of the pace starting to fold. Again, a very well done to everyone. Great to see him back in the winner’s enclosure."
