St Leger winner Sixties Icon may try Canadian International
Paul and Susan Roy's St Leger (Eng-G1) winner SIXTIES ICON (Galileo [Ire])
could be in line for a tilt at the October 22 Canadian International (Can-G1),
trainer Jeremy Noseda revealed on Sunday. While Saturday's classic hero could
yet be supplemented for the October 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-G1) at
Longchamp, connections are considering the alternative of the 1 1/2-mile
Woodbine contest as well.
"It was a class performance and he never looked in any danger of defeat,"
Noseda said of Saturday's score. "He picked up nicely and appeared to win a
shade comfortably. Without any question, he continues to improve.
"It is a great result for the yard and rewards the team at home for all their
hard work. It is also great for the owners Paul and Susan Roy, who are big
supporters of the yard. We will get the horse back home and assess whether we
will have a crack at the Arc, for which he would have to be supplemented. The
other possible race in my mind would be the International at Woodbine in late
October."
Sixties Icon also owns a score in the Gordon S. (Eng-G3), and prior to that,
was third in the King Edward VII S. (Eng-G2) at Royal Ascot.
