BIG RACE DOUBLE FOR JUDDMONTE

Juddmonte's Banstead Manor sires celebrated a big race double yesterday, when RAINBOW QUEST's son Millenary revisited his finest hour in the 2000 Gr.1 St Leger with victory in the Gr.2 Doncaster Cup - both wins coming exactly four years to the day apart.

Millenary fought out a rousing duel with Kasthari (Vettori) and at the line, the judge was unable to separate them and the result ws declared a deadheat.

Millenary has been an excellent servant to his owner breeder Neil Jones who will be hoping that the seven year old's half brother Let The Lion Roar (Sadler's Wells) can follow in Millenary's footsteps to win the world's oldest Classic on Saturday.

In France, Juddmonte's first season sire DANSILI sired his first Group winner when the Khalid Abdulla homebred colt Early March maintained his unbeaten record when winning the Gr.3 Prix la Rochette.
