Sea Moon leads 17 contenders left in St Leger

RED-HOT Ladbrokes St Leger favourite Sea Moon is now one of just 17 horses left in the final Classic of the season at Doncaster on September 10.

Sir Michael Stoute’s colt trades at 6-4 with the sponsors after streaking away with the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York – his third win in four career starts.

Most of his chief opponents in the betting remain in the mix after the August 23 scratchings deadline, with Godolphin’s Blue Bunting still a possibility to attempt to add the race to her strikes in the 1000 Guineas and Irish Oaks.
