Godolphin masterful at St Leger
The Ladbrokes St Leger Stakes has been won by outsider Mastery after a thrilling finish. The 14/1 shot held off red hot favourite Kite Wood (9/4F) and Monitor Closely (7/2).The Godolphin one-two saw Saeed bin Suroor's horse hold off the attentions of Frankie Dettori on stablemate Kite Wood.
Dettori was looking for his sixth victory in the Leger and seemed to be heading that way until Ted Durcan and Mastery interrupted proceedings with a late and decisive burst to the front.
"This horse has loved the ground and stays really well," said a delighted Durcan.
It's the fifth Godolphin victory in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster.
