Monarch's trainer O'Donovan effusive about Kirby champion

MICHAEL O'DONOVAN is not a trainer renowned for wasting superlatives so his post Kirby Memorial final interview with Ian Fortune about the brilliant record-breaking Bouncing Monarch is well worth watching.

Part of a one-two for the handler, who took over training Bouncing Monarch for the event from his English owner-trainer Dave Fradgley, the champion clocked a new track record of 27.77sec for the 525 yards course.
