Doncaster’s St Leger meeting provided us with some good points but nothing that dramatically improved our stables’ positions in the standings.
In Friday’s Doncaster Cup we picked the first two home in Times Up (3/1) and High Jinx (2/1) but they were the market leaders and earned just 89 points between them.
Talent (9/1) was good for us in the St Leger itself. Finishing second earned her 38 points, plus we got another 70 points for having selected jockey Jim Crowley.
There is one more race in September – the Nayef Joel Stakes at Newmarket – after which the final window opens for jockey and trainer changes.
This could be a crucial selection period because the final five races are all on British Champions Day itself and all points count double that afternoon. There’s still all to play for!
