"The biggest bet was one of £10 000 at 50-1. I reckon I have cleared £800 000."
The horse's trainer, Jimmy Mangan, has a stable of 15 horses in County Cork, Ireland.
"The horse started giving us the right vibes a couple of weeks ago," said Mangan.
"The horse came to me as a four-year-old and he won a point-to-point race at my local course."
Jockey Barry Geraghty, said Monty's Pass had run the perfect race.
"He was always jumping beautifully and he was just in top condition. I was happy just to sit there behind the leaders and stay out of trouble. The whole thing has been just brilliant. I was sixth in the race three years ago, but in the last two years I didn't get round. So it was quite something to finish the race, let alone to win it like he did."
