Furthur Information
He’s a nice horse I think, for the future. Not sure he is good enough to take out the big one here though and from what I’ve seen in replays, he looks a horse that needs more time to fill out his frame. Not for me here.

Key Replay: St Leger, September 13 2025, Doncaster, Soft Surface
Thrown in the deep end here in the Classic and was just outclassed. When the sprint went on, he couldn’t go with them and just whacked in the run to the line. The winner could be a rocket. But, I don’t think it was the deepest edition of the St Leger in recent memory.
