Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 14, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 14, 2019 It was all Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in Saturday’s G1 William Hill St Leger at Doncaster as Khalid Abdullah’s homebred made light work of the task to provide his sire with a second British Classic and the first in these silks. Heavily-backed into 5-6 favouritism, the G2 Great Voltigeur S. winner was anchored towards the rear early by a confident Frankie Dettori as the pace proved predictably strong. Angled towards the stand’s side once straightening for home, the grey produced a telling surge to gain command passing the two-furlong pole and his rider was looking around for non-existent dangers in the last furlong. At the line, the unbeaten colt had recorded a new course-record time as he sauntered to a 2 1/4-length success from Sir Ron Priestley (GB) (Australia {GB}), with Nayef Road (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a head away in third. 1–LOGICIAN (GB), 127, c, 3, by Frankel (GB)1st Dam: Scuffle (GB) (SP-Eng), by Daylami (Ire)2nd Dam: Tantina, by Distant View3rd Dam: Didina (GB), by Nashwan1ST GROUP 1 WIN.
