Your Guide to the St Leger Festival: Day One

Dragon Leader Poised for Victory in 2-y-o Sales Race

Despite the questionable nature of 2-year-old sales races, there's no denying the talent of Dragon Leader. With Clive Cox and William Buick in the saddle, this horse is a force to be reckoned with. Although he has tough competition from Johannes Brahms, Dragon Leader's impressive performance at York last time has us hopeful for a win.

Chinese Knot Looks to Make a Splash in Handicap Race

It's a wide open event for juveniles in the extended six furlongs handicap race. Chinese Knot may have reached her ratings limit, but her performance in the Racing League at Yarmouth and Chepstow suggests that she thrives in softer ground. With conditions in her favor, this could be her time to shine.

Darnation Ready to Impress in Betfred May Hill

Darnation faces stiff competition in the Group 2 Betfred May Hill for fillies over a mile. However, this talented horse has already shown her mettle, winning the Prestige at Goodwood. With the trip and going in her favor, it will be hard to beat her in this race.

Golden Lyra Aims for the Frame in Betfred Park Hill

The main event of the day is the Group 2 Betfred Park Hill over an extended mile and three quarters for fillies and mares. Golden Lyra may have fallen short in her last race in France, but with a stronger gallop in the UK, she has a good chance of finishing in the top spots. William Haggas and Tom Marquand will be guiding her to victory.

Good luck and enjoy the St Leger Festival!
