Billie de Montfort impressive winner

June 14, 2015 – An excellent performance on today’s Bjerke OGP harness racing card was set by Billie de Montfort (4f Jasmin de Flore-Quismy de Montfort-And Arifant) and teamster Eric Raffin. The Sebastien Guarato trainee, owned by Philippe Dauphin, scored with ease in 1.10.8kr to increase her earnings to 8,031,876Nokr.

The long bodied, long-striding filly now has a slate of 14-6-3-1 in 25 career starts.

The FR bred female defeated the boys as Mr. Lindy (Cantab Hall) and Orjan Kihlstrom was second in his initial appearance in Europe after import from the US.

Third was Expo Express (Expo Bi) and reinsman Jorma Kontio with Jerry Riordan trainee Sylvester America (Varenne) fourth for Bjorn Goop. Kapow Hanover (Explosive Matter) set a quick and steady pace with Mr. Lindy and Well Built following until Billie crushed their hopes. Sylvester America came from the back and a three-wide final turn surge got him into contention but he did not threaten the top three. Chart and photos follow.
