'It's an open year' - You Got To Me team open up on St Leger challenge after decision to supplement

A meeting of minds as the clock ticked down ended with connections unanimously agreeing to supplement Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me at a cost of £50,000 for Saturday's Betfred St Leger (3.40).

With the going described as good at Doncaster and no major downpours forecast before Saturday's big race, the Ralph Beckett-trained You Got To Me, who races for owners Valmont and Newsells Park Stud, has been handed the chance to add a Classic on home turf to the one she won in Ireland at the end of July. 

"We had a conference call with Newsells racing manager Gary Coffey, Anthony Ramsden [of Valmont], Ralph and myself this morning and the final decision to supplement was made about 30 minutes before the deadline," said Valmont's representative Alex Elliott on Monday.
