Legend Kinane delivers one more time

Doncaster’s third running of the Clipper Logistics Leger Legends Classified Stakes was again won by a jockey worthy of the title as Mick Kinane and Patriotic held on in a tight finish yesterday.

A field of 16 ex-jockeys, some better known than others, had gathered for the only charity race held in Britain under the Rules of Racing and the man who came home in front was perhaps the most accomplished of them all.

Not that it was easy, as George Duffield and Elijah Pepper closed to within a nose of the Kinane-ridden 5-1 favourite.
