Coral ambassador previews his Saturday rides at Doncaster Doncaster 13.50 – Albasheer I begin Leger Day on a horse I like a lot, Albasheer. I didn’t ride him when he won at Doncaster first time up, but he was very impressive that day, beating another one of Sheikh Hamdan’s. I’ve... View Article
Coral ambassador previews his rides ahead of Day Three of St Leger It was obviously very disappointing that the trial of racegoers was halted after just one day, but it wasn’t surprising given the situation in the wider world.
