Promising leads by example

Promising Lead looks set for a successful campaign in Pattern races after making an impressive reappearance in the totepoolscoop6 Special Middleton Stakes at York.

The victory set up a big-race double for trainer Sir Michael Stoute and jockey Ryan Moore, who took the totesport.com Dante Stakes with Tartan Bearer – in which Promising Lead’s owner Khalid Abdullah suffered defeat with odds-on Twice Over.
