Flymetothestars Targets Italian St Leger
Sir Mark Prescott-trained, Flymetothestars is being lined up to make his final turf start of the campaign in the Gr.3 Italian St Leger contest at San Siro. Although the son of Sea The Stars finished a well-held fourth last time out in the same grade at Chantilly, connections of the Ebor runner-up believe that effort can be ignored.
Tim Palin, racing manager for owners Middleham Park Racing, said: "I think what went wrong, and even Sir Mark would admit it, was we went back to the well a little bit too quick. If you've got a horse that likes a bit of cut in the ground, you can virtually guarantee easy ground in either France or Italy at this time of year."
