The heavily backed Night In Vegas hit the jackpot on the opening day of the Betfred St Leger Festival at Doncaster, landing the lucrative Weatherbys £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes.
Ridden by jockey Charlie Bishop, the 5-6 favourite was content to sit comfortably in midfield while Dorigo and Satellite Of Love set the early tempo. As the field made their charge for home, Bishop timed his challenge to absolute perfection. Shaken up entering the final furlong, the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained colt smoothy hit the front with 100 yards left to run, pushing out to secure a half-length victory for owners Kennet Valley Syndicates, who incredibly won the exact same race last year with Calendar Girl.
