The lightly raced Droopys Bonucci produced the performance of his career to become the sixth fastest dog ever to win a Monmore 630m open.
Dean Childs’ runner was making his six bend debut when winning by 13 lengths in 37.36 (+20). The year’s previous fastest run over course and distance belonged to litter brother Droopys Martial (37.51). Martial has since gone on to clocked the fastest 685m run of the year at Swindon on Wednesday.
Although only two months short of his third birthday, it was only the 20th race of Bonucci’s injury plagued career and his ninth win. He started joint favourite with Forest Con in the 2017 Ladbrokes Puppy Derby and earlier this year clocked 29.59 for Hove’s 515m.
