The
attendance on the second day of the Ladbrokes St Leger Festival at
Doncaster, DFS Ladies' Day, Thursday, September 12, showed an increase
over last year.
Despite
a poor morning weather-wise, nearly 14,000 people came to Doncaster
Racecourse today, as against 13,700 in 2012.
 Mark
Spincer, Managing Director of Doncaster Racecourse, said: "We are
pleased to have attracted such a good crowd for DFS Ladies' Day and
look forward to the final two days of the Ladbrokes St Leger Festival.
"We
wish Hayley Turner all the best following her fall in today's feature
race, the DFS
Park
Hill Stakes, and hope she makes a speedy recovery."
GOING REMAINS THE SAME
The
going at Doncaster remains Good to Soft after the second day of
the Ladbrokes St Leger meeting though there is rain forecast for this
evening.
Roderick
Duncan, Clerk of the Course, said: "There is a 90% chance that
we'll get between 3mm and 7mm of rain this evening and we'll look again
at 6am tomorrow morning to see if it has eased the ground at all.
"There
is an outside chance of some more drizzle tomorrow but there's not a
great deal forecast and the outlook for Saturday is much better as it's
due to stay dry with bright sunshine all day."
Race
7 - DFS Handicap - winner quotes
BRULEE BACK TO HIS SWEET BEST
Clon
Brulee may have earned a tilt at the Cambridgeshire after his battling
victory in the closing DFS Handicap. The David Barron-trained
four-year-old, a 7/1 shot, saw off Tha'ir (13/2) after a sustained duel
for more than a furlong, with 7/2 favourite Conduct a closing third.
The
win gave Barron and rider Graham Gibbons a quick-fire 95/1 double after
Pearl Ice's victory in the previous race. "I wish I could ride 10
of him every day," said Gibbons of Clon Brulee. "He's an
absolute saint - I'd put my son or daughter on him - and he puts 110
per cent into his job every time."
Clon
Brulee, bred by his owner Colette Twomey, launched his third season
with two victories from as many runs and with ease in the ground came
back to his progressive spring form. "When he ran at York in July
the ground was plenty quick enough," said Barron, "and last
time he ran badly at Goodwood for the second time, so we'll give there
a miss with him in future.
"After
that we just left him at home until the right race on the right ground
came along. He's in the Cambridgeshire, which is a possibility, and
also in the big handicap at Newbury next weekend. We'll see how he is,
but he's had a light season; we've left him alone purposely."
Clon
Brulee has had a light career altogether, with three runs at two and
four last year. "He's had a couple of blips," added Barron,
"but there are not many horses who go through life without. But
his ability has always been there."

Fentiman was found guilty of using his whip above the permitted level
