Hopefully followers took my advise and backed Logician yesterday in the William Hill St Leger.  He was an impressive winner, breaking the course record in the process! He could well be as effective over 12f next year, I am not sure if he will run again in 2019.  Possible excursion to America for one of the Breeders Cup races may be an option. Reflecting on the last weeks racing, some really nice prospects for next year.  Stradivarius was once again a clear winner, he is apparently staying in training, and will try and win another Ascot Gold Cup next season.  Molatham was a good winner, from highly promising Wichita on Friday, both horses are potentially Group race future winners, I would not write off Visinari yet, he was fourth in the same race.  A big weak colt, hopefully he will not run again this year.  I saw this horse when he won at Newmarket back in June, I just hope he has no lasting effects from a lot of racing for a very immature horse, who clearly needs to fill his frame !

Todays card’s at the Curragh see’s 4 Group 1 races.  Pinatubo 3.35 hopes to keep up his unbeaten record.  He has done everything right so far, in his likely hardest test, Armory could well give him something to think about.  He has improved with racing, and will not go down without a battle.  The 4.50 is a race for retired jockeys, all riding to raise money for Pat Smullen, who is raising money for a great cause.  Pat had to retire from riding this year, due to cancer, sadly he is not quite well enough to ride in this race, some fantastic riders from both codes line up, hopefully it will be a good race and all of the riders enjoy getting back on the racecourse.  At Longchamp it is Arc trials weekend, with only three weeks left until the big race.  Waldgeist is very short odds to win at 1.35, he is still a live each way price for the big race, at around 16/1, I have already backed him each way for the race.
