Derby champ Laughil Blake and the immensely talented Droopys Nidge gave further credence, if it were needed, to the ‘Night of Stars’ moniker as they produced stellar performances on Saturday at Shelbourne Park.

Derby finalist Vulturi, trained by Liam Dowling (inset) took a major step towards another Classic final when winning a very competitive first quarter-final of the Kerry Agribusiness St Leger on Saturday night at Limerick.

The Kerry AgriBusiness St Leger has reached the quarter-final stage and tonight’s four heats feature the clash between two strong fancies for outright glory, Roxholme Bully and Skywalker Farloe, in the third heat.
