Present gift-wrapped as Supple rolls back the years

Willie Supple got Dana’s Present up in the last stride to grab the spoils in a three-way photo finish to the Clipper Logistics Leger Legends Stakes at Doncaster yesterday.

Gay Kelleway, the first woman to ride a winner at Royal Ascot, looked home and hosed on Pelmanism when she hit the front a furlong out and took a couple of lengths out of the field.

However, the complexion of the race changed dramatically in the last 50 yards as Dana’s Present (12-1) snatched the verdict by a nose under a vigorous ride from Supple.
