Norton Grove sire Monsieur Bond’s versatility was evident today as Montalbano recorded a win in Ireland over fences for owner Susannah Ricci.  Usually associated with sprinters, Monsieur Bond has also sired several National Hunt winners, and Montalbano was recording his third win over jumps.

On the flat Mr Carbonator was also a winner with a Norton Grove connection, scoring at Southwell for trainer Philip Kirby.  Mr Carbonator was foaled here at Norton Grove Stud in 2015.
