JP McManus’s £570,000 gamble on Jonbon looks increasingly like a smart investment after the horses’s smooth win on Friday
JP McManus’s £570,000 gamble on Jonbon after his win in an Irish point-to-point last November looks increasingly like a copper-bottomed investment after five-year-old extended his unbeaten record under Rules to three races in the Grade Two Kennel Gate Novice Hurdle at Ascot on Friday.
Jonbon also had an exceptional pedigree to recommend him after his success at Dromahane in County Cork last year, as Douvan, his full brother, won 13 races in a row after joining Willie Mullins in 2014, including two Grade One events at the Cheltenham Festival.
