Graigues Shadow new Leger favourite

THE shocks continued in the Kerry Agribusiness Irish St Leger at Limerick on Sunday night and Graigues Shadow has now been established as a clear favourite to win the final of the 550 yard classic next Saturday.

Among the semi-final casualties on Sunday were Hondo Dingle, The Other Sonic, Royal Treason and Rebel Kewell.

The major shock was provided by the victory of Matt Kiely’s Shaneboy Maria, as she beat the strong finishing Line Of Fire by a length and a half in 29.68. Boherash Gaoithe qualified in third.
