Talking Horses: Indigo Girl crashes in Guineas betting after may Hill romp


Indigo Girl is the new second-favourite for next year’s 1,000 Guineas after a convincing success in the May Hill Stakes

Indigo Girl, a full-sister to the Group One-winning Journey, is the new second-favourite for next year’s 1,000 Guineas after an ultimately convincing success in the Group Two May Hill Stakes on the second day of Doncaster’s Leger Festival on Thursday.

John Gosden’s filly was slowly away from the stalls but made swift progress through the field heading into the final three furlongs and went on to beat Dubai Fountain by three-quarters of a length with Zabeel Queen, the favourite, back in third.
