ST. LEGER COLTS LORD HORDER ON
SNOW LEOPARD
Likely Winner At
Doncaster
That we are badly off for high- class three-year-old stayers this season is denoted by the fact that Snow Leopard is to be trained for the St. Leger and what is more is likely to develop into a fancied competitor, writes the racing cor- respondent of the "Observer.” Classic honours for this

SNOW LEOPARD
Actually if Snow Leopard were to win the St. Leger he would not advance so far on his two-year-old form as Mid-day Sun has done. since at the end of last season the handicapper placed the Derby winner 3. lb. behind the Maharaja Rajpipla's colt.
It is reasonable to expect Mid- day Sun to remain favourite for the St. Leger, though much may happen during the next six weeks to place a new aspect on the last of the classic races. I am sure that Captain Boyd-Rochfort is by no means satisfied that the Derby winner is better over a distance of ground than Perlíox.
