Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 4, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 4, 2019 Connections of Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) have confirmed the unbeaten colt an intended runner in the G1 William Hill St Leger at Doncaster on Saturday week. Khalid Abdullah’s only made his racecourse debut in May, but created a big impression in winning his first three starts–with a pair of emphatic wins at Newbury in May and July sandwiching a similarly dominant display at Newmarket. The John Gosden- trained 3-year-old graduated to Group 2 class for the Great Voltigeur S. at York last month and leapt to the head of ante-post lists for the world’s oldest Classic with an emphatic 1 3/4-length defeat of Ballydoyle’s Constantinople (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Gosden stopped short of committing his charge to the Town Moor showpiece in the immediate aftermath, saying: “We’ll see how he is in the next 10 days before we make any decision as to where he goes next.” However, speaking on Wednesday morning, owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe gave the green light. Grimthorpe told the PA news agency: “Logician is an intended runner in the St Leger. “We’re always nervous of confirming these things straight after a race in case we didn’t get the right answer. “We wanted to make sure Prince Khalid is happy and the horse is happy and that is the case. The horse is in good form.” The post Logician Gets Green Light for Leger appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
