The Leger

It takes Patkai an age to get warmed up for his challenging run, today's race/trip was never going to suit him.

I would love them to run Moonstone if she was ready for it, but I imagine she will probably be aimed at the French races.

Doctor Freemantle is reported to be in a race against time for this also. Conduit is nearly favourite by default. If I was to have a bet it would be on the Stack filly Unsung Heroine.
 
Conduit is a definate lay for me. Very underwhelming performance for a leger favourite at goodwood
 
Screw that. Shows what I know. Classic Cliche was the last filly.

HEROINE HEADS TO LEGER

Ante-post Ladbrokes St Leger mover Unsung Heroine has been confirmed as on target for the race by connections.
Fozzy Stack, trainer Tommy's son and assistant, has assured punters that the Doncaster Classic is now the primary target for the filly after the Park Hill had been mooted as an alternative.
The daughter of High Chaparral is unbeaten in two starts, winning a Group Three race on her last effort, and is as low as 10-1 for the final Classic of the season.
"If everything goes according to plan she'll run in the Leger," said Stack.
"We were talking about the idea of the Park Hill but after Patkai got beaten (in the Great Voltigeur) and with her form working out - she only gets one crack at the Leger and she can run in the Park Hill next year.
"She had a bit of bad luck in the spring when she stood on a hind joint and it was quite messy, she had to spend a couple of weeks at the veterinary clinic to get her sorted out which is why she missed the spring.
"We were lucky to get her back in and she's done nothing wrong, we always thought a lot of her.
"We entered her for the Irish Oaks, but she missed that, thankfully we entered her for the Leger before she ran.
"There is no reason why she shouldn't improve with time, she's quite a big filly but she's quite a good looking filly.
"Her form is very good, even in her maiden she beat a well-bred filly of Jim Bolger's who went on to win by 11 lengths at Gowran.
"So her form looks solid, Hasanka (second to her last time) bolted up at the weekend but to have a chance in the Leger she'd probably have to improve again," he told At The Races.
 
Did it really take the best part of a page to find out Classic Cliche wasn't a filly, or am I missing an elaborate joke? Crikey!

He was on the list that Bar had as a filly. I was still chasing young ones at that stage of my life so i don't remember him that well. I had assumed he was a colt though....to answer your question in brief.....yes....I'm having a slow day :o

The last day at leop. Washington looked like he was only starting to run in the last furlong. He is defo a distance horse for the future.....possibly an ascot Gold Cup horse.

Despite the fact I initially thought he might not stay 1m4, I wonder do Godolphin plan to run Campanologist? If Frankie got to the front early, he would be in with a chance as he has among the best form in the race.
 
Any chance Warringah could come the Regal Flush route and prove himself Stoute's Leger horse? Plenty of improvement still to find but has some really strong handicap form and think he can only progress for a step up in trip. Would have missed the Melrose after a slight setback but there was a quote from the owner suggesting that the close relation to Hi Calypso has the race as a target and will go via the Haydock handicap Regal Flush won.
