Montassib Surprises with Betfair Sprint Cup Win

Montassib achieved a surprising victory at 25-1 in the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock, trained by William Haggas and ridden by Cieren Fallon. After a lengthy absence since winning the Group Three Chipchase Stakes, Montassib came from behind to secure Group One glory, edging out Kind Of Blue by a head. Haggas expressed surprise at the win, having not expected much from Montassib, who has recently thrived over six furlongs. Fallon celebrated his third Group One victory, attributing his success to Haggas's guidance and support. The performance marked a significant comeback for Fallon, who has faced injuries this season. Haggas hinted at future plans for Montassib, potentially competing at Champions Day if conditions are favorable.
