Four years ago the partisan crowd at Doncaster erupted when Bollin Eric galloped to victory in the St Leger, providing a local win for Yorkshiremen Tim Easterby and Kevin Darley.

Bollin Eric became the first Yorkshire-trained winner of the Rothmans Royals St Leger since Peleid in 1973 when staying on strongly to land the Doncaster Classic for Malton-based Tim Easterby today.

FRENCH DERBY winner Sulamani will have the benefit of a pacemaker when he takes on High Chaparral in a mouth-watering clash at Longchamp on Sunday.

There were no surprise withdrawals from the Rothmans Royals St Leger at today‘s confirmation stage, with 13 horses remaining in the last Classic of the season.
