Snow Fairy prepares for Hong Kong Cup
Nov 30th

Rewilding heads St Leger acceptors

It used to be said that the fittest horse wins the Guineas, the luckiest horse wins the Derby and the best horse wins the St Leger. However, this year’s renewal of the Ladbrokes St Leger, at Doncaster on Saturday, is likely to put even more of a premium of stamina with heavy rain forecast for [...]
