Dandino thwarted in Gordon Stakes but St Leger dream still lives on

• Jeremy Noseda voices doubts about winner Rebel Soldier • Lord Shanakill battles to victory in the Group Two Betfair Cup Rebel Soldier was the horse who followed in the footsteps of Conduit and Harbinger by winning the Gordon Stakes here today, but there will have been far more attention focused on the colt who would have beaten him in a few more strides. Dandino, the property of around 20,000 members of the Elite Racing Club, emerged from this St Leger trial as the most likely candidate for the Doncaster classic, and their dream of victory at Town Moor will carry them through the summer.
