Leger still on agenda for Fairy The weather could decide whether Ed Dunlop's star filly Snow Fairy bids for further Classic glory in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster next month. The three-year-old showed an electric turn of foot to win the Oaks at Epsom in June and was even more impressive when following up in the Irish equivalent. She lost no caste in defeat when second to the vastly more experienced Midday in Thursday's Yorkshire Oaks, and Dunlop is keen to head to Town Moor on September 11th if conditions are in her favour. "We came there with half a chance but then Midday quickened for a second time, which is always the hallmark of an exceptional filly," Dunlop told his website www.edunlop.com. "There was certainly no disgrace in being beaten by a filly of Midday's quality - she has won four Group Ones, including a Breeders' Cup, so all credit to her. "We knew that it would be tough taking on the older fillies for the first time, but Snow Fairy has beaten the other three-year-olds in the race and I have certainly not ruled out the possibility of running in the St Leger. "It is a race which I have always been keen on, and I would like to keep Snow Fairy to races for her own age while still possible. "However, we will see how she comes out of the York race before making firm plans. "The St Leger is three weeks away and Doncaster might well come up softer than did the Knavesmire, but the final Classic is still on the table for the time being and we will monitor the well-being of the filly and the Yorkshire weather over the next fortnight or so."
