Tiggerlong Tonk driving clear in the final bounds to score by 1.37 lengths in 29.23sec. It was his 39 th win from 27 appearances at Sandown. “That was just a good contest between him and Catch The Thief. He had to bring his best to win and he did,” said Grenfell. “He was always going to dig deep and keep coming. He’s got a great will to win.” The $100,000 winner’s purse elevated Tiggerlong Tonk‘s prizemoney total to $676,015 and with five minor placings at G1 level that figure could have been significantly higher. But there’s every chance he’ll be adding to his tally, with Grenfell saying a stud career will have to wait.
