About
Dragon Leader is a 5yo colt trained by C G Cox at Hungerford. He is by the stallion El Kabeir out of Sweet Dragon Fly. To date he has secured four victories. His biggest triumph came on 24 Aug 2023 at York, where he claimed the $295110.00 Cl2 prize. The horse has proved lucrative for bettors; backing him for his whole career would have delivered a 6% return on investment.
