Legend Kinane strikes again Mick Kinane took the honours on Patriotic with a narrow win in the Clipper Logistics Leger Legends Classified Stakes at Doncaster. George Duffield brought Elijah Pepper with a strong challenge in the final half-furlong but Patriotic just held on in a tight finish. American Julie Krone made a bold bid to repeat last year's victory by leading on Sunnyside Tom for most of the race, but Kinane delivered the Chris Dwyer-trained Patriotic with a smooth run to lead a furlong out. The 5-1 favourite was all out though to keep Elijah Pepper at bay by a nose. The first two drew four and a half lengths clear of Handheld. Kinane, 53, who also won a charity race at Aintree's Grand National meeting in April, retired as a professional after a glittering career at the end of the 2009 season in which he enjoyed tremendous success on the champion colt Sea The Stars.
