Peggy's Style gave us a Category One double when coming through the field to land a thrilling £8,000 final of the Gain Feeds Yorkshire St Leger over 661m at Doncaster on Tuesday night.
After landing the Kent Derby with Ballycowen Dave two weeks ago, beforehand we doubted his bitch’s ability to come from too far off the pace in a field of this calibre, but that is exactly what she did. Only fifth at the first bend as Mays Stewart led round from favourite Welton Arthur, Peggys Style closed in at the third bend where Welton Arthur was forced to check.
However, the market leader was able to get to the front between the last two bends only for Peggys Style to really rattle home and nab him close to the finish for a half length win in 42.21.
It’s been a tough year but hopefully we’ve turned the corner. It’s going to be hard to catch Mark [Wallis] but we’ll have a go at retaining our title.
Peggys has come out of the race very well and will now head to the TV Trophy.
