New dawn approaches for Leather

Trading Leather attempts to come out of his stablemate Dawn Approach’s shadow when he lines-up for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot today.

The Teofilo colt has held second billing behind his fellow Jim Bolger inmate, who has tended to hog the headlines throughout their racing careers so far.

However, Trading Leather justified the regard in which Bolger holds him when winning the Irish Derby and the Coolcullen handler is looking forward to the summer showpiece sponsored by Betfair.
