Roaring Lion impressive winner of the Betfred Dante
Added: Friday 18th May 2018
Roaring Lion has run out a hugely impressive winner of the Betfred Dante Stakes and looks set to take on his old rival Saxon Warrior in the Investec Derby a fortnight on Saturday.
Trained by John Gosden, he beat a class field by four and a half lengths with the Yorkshire trained Mildenberger second and outsider Zabriskie third.
The bookmakers have reacted by slashing Roaring Lion's price for Epsom, even though he has been beaten twice by the classic favourite Saxon Warrior.
Listen to the reaction of the winning jockey Oisin Murphy with Mike Vince.
