Mountjoy Rock as always has proved that he is surely the real go getter with his get up and go tempo in the BVOF Northern Flat Championship
Mountjoy Rock, a victorious hound, who would not miss an oppotunity of giving a hit, won the purse for his trainer E T Parker as he stole the show at the Belle Vue race track in the BVOF Northern Flat Championship's Heat 3.
The Grade OR 470 meter race, entailing a purse of £100, held on Thursday, the 8th of September, 2011, was contended by 6 warrior hounds.
The champion of John Smith’s Peterborough Derby 2011, of the final held on the 6th of September, did not gave any of his contenders a chance to win the purse.
The black dog is known for his speed and prompt attitude, which helps him in grabbing the spotlight every now and then.

The ½ favourite three-year-old, wearing white and black shirt, rushed as soon as trap 3 opened.
